Ghana had one last opportunity to turn the tide of fortunes their way when
they were awarded an indirect free-kick near the penalty spot, but when the ball
was rolled to Jonathan Quartey, he crashed his drive into the Chinese wall
standing firm on the goal-line.
Six minutes of added time failed to produce a winner and the result, coupled
with the other Group A outcome, sends China through in second place for a
quarter-final against Turkey in Iquitos on Sunday.
For Ghana, who left the field in tears, but with the local fans singing their
praises, it means an early exit from the FIFA U-17 World Championship Peru 2005
- an unjust reward for their fantastic efforts on a night of bitter
disappointment in Piura.
