Asamoah Gyan<\/a> has admitted his penalty miss against South Korea was one of his poorest ever after the Black Stars lost 2-1 in an international friendly at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.<\/p>\nGyan, who missed a high-pressure penalty kick against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup, failed to pull his side level on 14 minutes after his low penalty was comfortably saved by Korean goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryeon.<\/p>\n
The Sunderland striker eventually made amends, scoring after Sulley Muntari’s defence-splitting pass found him, but it was not enough as Ghana lost their first game under Serbian coach Goran Stevanovic.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ETV<\/em>, the forward acknowledged that he could have done much better with his attempt from 12 yards.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was a poor kick I didn\u2019t see the goalkeeper moving,\u201d said 25-year-old Gyan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no power in it so I will say it is one of the poorest kicks I have ever taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know it is one of those things but I came back to score so I\u2019m OK about it.”<\/p>\n
The Ghana superstar similarly missed some glorious chances in the friendly game against England, but still managed to score the equaliser deep into injury time. Gyan said his resilience comes from his mental toughness.<\/p>\n
Gyan added: \u201cPersonally, I\u2019m somebody who is mentally strong no matter what.<\/p>\n
“As I always say, I don\u2019t doubt my quality at all so any time things go wrong I have to compromise myself and come back strongly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that is what happened. I missed the penalty in the first half and I said to myself ‘we\u2019ve got more time so I have to come back and score’ and I did that.”<\/p>\n
