Gyan, who scored the winner against Serbia in a 1-0 victory, coolly converted a 25th-minute penalty equalizer in the 1-1 draw after Harry Kewell was sent off for a hand ball on the goal line.

Both teams continued to attack in a thrilling match but Ghana, with 22 shots to eight should have made the extra man pay.

“We should have won this game,” Gyan said. “Once Auslia were down a man we shouldZƒzÔ&scored.

“We are looking forward to the last gameHèzjÆÆdrmany and we are hoping Ghana qualify.”

Aissing out.

Ghana made a poor start as Brett Holman scored on 11 minutes against a defence missing regular starters John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah through injury.

“Instead of two defenders we had to use two young players and we got off to a bad start, conceding a goal,” said Rajevac. “After that, we started to fight. All we have to regret is that we had so many chances but didn’t score.

“Both goals are from penalties, so we have a problem. But we made a lot of opportunities to score. We’ll try to redeem ourselves against Germany.”
