United State of America Scores Blackstars

The USA last night beat Ghana by two goals to one to avenge two World Cup defeats at the hands of the Black Stars.

  Brooks headed in a late winner for the Yanks  in a dramatic finale to their opening Group G game against the Black Stars.

  Clint Dempsey put USA ahead on 29 seconds with the fifth-fastest goal in World Cup history, cutting inside John Boye before sweeping home.

  The Black Stars upped the tempo and equalised when Andre Ayew latched on to Asamoah Gyan's backheel to fire in a leveller.

   USA looked tired but Brooks nodded in from six yards following a latecorner to give his side a winning start.

 The victory also gave USA a measure of revenge for being knocked out of the past two World Cups by Ghana.

 But their tenacity was rewarded to leave the Black Stars precariously placed, with both teams now having to face Germany and Portugal.
