Naby Yattara Almost Ends Asamoah Gyan’s Tournament

In the fading embers of Ghana’s match against Guinea, Asamoah Gyan latched on to an Andre Ayew through chip-pass and raced in on goal. Guinea goalkeeper Naby Yattara intrepidly met him at the edge of the penalty box, with his studs aimed at Gyan’s lower midriff. The Guinean goalkeeper was sent off for his rash challenge and Gyan was ruled out of the semi-finals due to injury.
