Carroll, who had been virtually anonymous until that point, profited from Downing\u2019s mis-control inside the box as the ball bobbled perfectly into his path.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the attentions of John Mensah, the Liverpool forward rifled his left-foot shot first time between the Sunderland defender\u2019s legs and inside the far post to open his account at international level.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana emerged for the second half with a renewed vigour, instantly threatening Hart in the England goal.<\/p>\n<p>John Pantsil was unlucky to see his shot deflect wickedly off a defender and onto the roof of the net, with Johnathan Mensah failing to adequately direct a great headed opportunity from the resultant corner.<\/p>\n<p>Milner then had Kingson at full stretch with a well-hit 20-yard effort that was turned around the post, before Gyan wasted one of the best chances of the game \u2013 firing wildly into the side-netting from five yards after breaking the offside trap.<\/p>\n<p>As the game progressed towards a conclusion both sides made changes \u2013 Matthew Jarvis was given an international debut, after Defoe had already replaced Carroll, while Andre Ayew injected some pace in place of Muntari \u2013 and things also become a bit heated. Ayew and Milner were both booked for ugly late challenges, after Baines was lucky to avoid punishment earlier in the match.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Welbeck \u2013 son of two Ghanaian parents \u2013 was then booed by sections of the crowd as he was handed his Three Lions debut.<\/p>\n<p>Those same fans were nearly given something to cheer as Gyan charged down Hart\u2019s clearance, but fortunately for the Manchester City goalkeeper the ball sailed harmlessly over the bar.<\/p>\n<p>In the 91st minute, however, Gyan would get a just reward for his endeavours all evening, while also making up for some wasteful finishing.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly being shepherded away from danger outside the box, the Sunderland forward suddenly burst into the area, cut onto his left side and found the gap between Hart and his far post.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghanaian crowd were sent in to raptures, and when the final whistle blew both sides could be proud of their part in an open and eventful international friendly.<\/p>\n<p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \n\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div><\/div>\n\n --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/bd8c2698ley-300x168.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visit site:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ghanasoccernet.com\/2011\/03\/asamoah-gyan-clinical-leveller-helps-ghana-hold-england-at-wembley\/\" title=\"Asamoah Gyan Clinical Leveller Helps Ghana Hold England At Wembley\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asamoah Gyan Clinical Leveller Helps Ghana Hold England At Wembley<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Welcome to Ghanasoccernet.com, Ghana&#8217;s most authoritative football news website.
