  1. South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    South Korea have their first attempt on target in Qatar!

    A header by Cho Gue-sung is beaten away by Lawrence Ati-Zigi.

  2. 'Wobbling on a trap door'

    South Korea can't go out today but they would be wobbling on top of the trap door if it ends like this.

  3. South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    If you like the sound of trumpets, you'd love being stuck in the middle of where Ghana's fans are right now. Great noise.

  4. 'High and wide'

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC One

    Lamptey does really well, he wriggles away from two players. It's just on his weaker left foot and he sends it high and wide.

  5. South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Ghana's first shot in anger of the second half comes from the boot of Tariq Lamptey who does well to create space for himself outside the box.

  6. 'Showing purpose'

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC One

    South Korea have started with purpose in this second half.

  7. South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    It's the team in red who are enjoying all the possession but Ghana, who conceded three in their first game, are strong at the back. Mohammed Salisu and Daniel Amartey have been solid.

  8. South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Steady start to the new half. No signs of panic from South Korea who have serious work ahead of them. They are the only side yet to have a shot on target at the World Cup, attempting 13 shots in total so far.

  9. 'We're dangerous from set-pieces'

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Ghana assistant manager George Boateng: "We'll try again in the second half to service the box as best we can. It's really important for us because we know how dangerous we can be from set-pieces."

  10. 'South Korea were not efficient'

    Didier Drogba
    Former Ivory Coast striker on BBC One

    South Korea had so many chances to create something but they were not efficient at all. That is the difference between them and Ghana.

  11. 'Big half-time team talk'

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Ghana won't be happy with the first 20 minutes but the half has been outstanding. I think Jordan Ayew and Inaki Williams have been good. They have also defended really well, it is a big half-time team talk for Paulo Bento.

    The lack of cutting edge is the thing that has let down South Korea. You can see Bento on the sideline, he kicks every ball. He won't be calm, he will be throwing a few things around the changing room.

  12. KICK-OFF

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Man of the moment Andre Ayew gets the second half under way.

  13. 'South Korea far too deep'

    HT: South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder on BBC One

    This South Korean side are dropping way too deep on set pieces and it brings in a whole load of problems. They should be a lot higher up, the reason being, when the ball drops and bounces around, you're inviting all kind of problems.

  14. Watch: Ghana double their lead

    HT: South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    The last three African nations in action at this World Cup:

    Belgium 0-2 Morocco FULL TIME.

    Cameroon 3-3 Serbia FULL TIME.

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana HALF TIME.

    Football in Africa is alive and kicking.

  15. Ghana players huddle at HT

    Gideon Mensah booted the ball away with the last kick off that second half and it received the biggest roar.

    The party has started early for the Ghana fans and rightly so after that first-half performance.

    South Korea trudge off down the tunnel, while Andre Ayew gets his players in a huddle before they go into the changing rooms together to hear from the boss.

  16. Watch: Ghana take the lead

    South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Ghana have not won on the World Cup stage since 2010. They're 45 minutes away from a famous win.

  17. HT: South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    One and a half games into the World Cup, South Korea are yet to record a shot on target in Qatar.

  18. 'Ghana look quick and strong'

    HT: South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC One

    Very good half for Ghana. They've tried to go down the outsides, South Korea are very, very narrow but I don't know what the manager said to this Ghana side - they look quick, they look strong. They're up for this one.

  19. 'Great character'

    HT: South Korea 0-2 Ghana

    John Bennett
    BBC World Service Sport at the Education City Stadium

    I was in the Ghana team hotel on Saturday and was really impressed by how calm and relaxed the camp was going into such a huge game. They didn’t allow themselves to get too down after the Portugal defeat and took the positives from the second half performance.

    I sensed a quiet confidence from technical director Chris Hughton that they had the ability in their relatively inexperienced squad to hurt South Korea. That attitude has carried into the game.

    There have been tough moments but they stayed solid and at the other end have been ruthless. Great character from Ghana. And in Mohammed Kudus they have a genuine future star.

    A perfect 45 for the Black Stars.
