Nobody in the US can be happy over the 1-2 loss by team USA in the 2010 World Cup but regardless of the end result, online bookmakers made out big with the 1-1 draw that occurred prior to extra time. Very little betting action came in on the draw in this game.
Ghana, the last African team left in the tournament, opened the scoring in the fifth minute when Kevin-Prince Boateng pounced on a mistake in midfield before racing at the defence and firing home a powerful left-footed shot.
But the U.S., who have faced defeat or elimination in every one of their World Cup games in South Africa, fought back in the second half and grabbed a deserved equaliser when Landon Donovan scored from a penalty in the 62nd minute after Clint Dempsey was brought down.
Ghana has beaten the US in the last two World Cups.
Ghana will now face Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
