  • Story Text: Fans streaming away from the Royal Bafokeng stadium near Rustenburg on Saturday (June 19) gave their reaction to the Ghana-Australia 1-1 draw.
    Australia scored first after 11 minutes but then had Harry Kewell sent off for a hand-ball.
    Ghana scored with the ensuing penalty and the score remained level.
    Australia fans rued the red card for Kewell, following on from another for Tim Cahill in the first match against Germany.
    Leading up to the Group D match Serbia, Germany and Ghana were level on one win and three points apiece, while Australia's 4-0 loss to Germany put them bottom of the group. The Saturday draw puts Ghana on four points and Australia on just one with one game remaining.
    Ghana supporters were defiant, saying the next match against Germany would be very tough but some guessed Ghana would win 2-1 or even 3-0.
