Dramatic win for Adjetey

Wolfsburg defender Jonas Adjetey (pictured) started in Toronto as Ghana kept a clean sheet and snatched victory with a 95th-minute goal from Caleb Yirenkyi, denying Panama - managed by 2002/03 Bundesliga top scorer Thomas Christiansen - a first-ever point in the World Cup. The Wolves man won two out of his three tackles and had two attempts on goal himself as Carlos Queiroz's Black Stars went level on three points in Group L with England.
