The main photo shows Dominic Adiyiah heading at goal during the quarter-final
match against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Asamoah Gyan
missed a glorious chance to win it for Ghana when he failed to convert a last
minute penalty and it was the South Americans who would prevail in the penalty
shoot-out.
The right hand photo shows a distraught Dominic being consoled
by goalkeeper Richard Kingson, the young striker having missed his penalty in
the shoot-out. It had, though, been a fine tournament for the Ghanaians who
had come so very close to becoming the first African nation to reach a
World Cup semi-final.
