Serbia 0 Ghana 1: Ghana's Serb is delighted at win over Serbia

Victorious Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac diplomatically heaped praise on both his side and his fellow Serbians following last night's game in Pretoria, which saw the African nation claim a late win.

Asamoah Gyan's 84th-minute penalty decided a close-fought match after Zdravko Kuzmanovic had handled a cross in the area.

There was little to separate the two sides during the encounter, although Ghana were given a boost in the 74th minute when Serbia lost Aleksandar Lukovic to a red card. Somewhat surprisingly, Serbia actually looked the more likely goalscorers for a period after that dismissal, but it was Ghana who would take the spoils.

Ghana's Serbian coach Rajevac said: "I congratulate Serbia, they played very well, and of course I congratulate my team. They played well until the end.

"Serbia are a very good team, with very good individual players.

"They played a wise game, perhaps we got more lucky than them because we scored one goal and we obtained three points today."
