Ghana, who are on three points in Group D, are flying the flag for Africa in their match with Australia in Rustenburg in North West at the moment.

The Aussies are the only team in the group without a point so far, with Germany and Serbia also on three points each.

Reports say South Africans have come out in numbers to support the Black Stars at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace.

But Brett Holman scored Australia’s first goal of the tournament in the 11th minute of a game the Aussies have to win.

There was drama in the 24th minute with Harry Kewell being sent off for a hand ball.

Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan kicked the penalty to level matters.

Earlier the world’s number four ranked team, the Netherlands, only managed to beat the number 45th ranked team, Japan, by one goal to nil at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
