A long ball played from the United States back line in the 81st minute momentarily put forward Jozy Altidore behind the Ghana defense, but central defender John Mensah was able to catch-up to the play, and with the two player tangling near 15 yards out, the U.S. striker's left-footed chance was dragged wide to the right of Richard Kingson's goal.
Altidore appeared to initiate contact with Mensah in an attempt to get a better angle on the ball. The two players were sent off-balance, with Altidore's chance, as he went to ground, failing to go on goal.
The United States and Ghana remain tied after 86 minutes played, their 1-1 score possibly headed to extra time.
