Libas Irak, Ghana Rebut Peringkat Ketiga
Agen Bola indo11.com melaporkan berita, Istanbul – Ghana merebut peringkat ketiga di Piala Dunia U-20 tahun ini. The Black Satellites mendapatkannya setelah menang meyakinkan atas Irak dengan skor 3-0.

Pada pertandingan di Turk Telekom Arena, Istanbul, Sabtu (13/7/2013), Ghana membuka keunggulan mereka pada menit ke-35. Sundulan Joseph Attamah meneruskan tendangan sudut Moses Odjer menjebol gawang Irak yang dikawal oleh Mohammed Hameed.

Beberapa saat menjelang turun minum, Ghana mencetak gol keduanya. Kali ini, tembakan Ebenezer Assifuah ke tiang jauh memaksa Hameed bertekuk lutut.

Ghana menambah satu gol lagi di babak kedua, tepatnya menit ke-78. Memanfaatkan umpan terobosan Clifford Aboagye, Frank Acheampong mampu mencatatkan namanya di papan skor.seperti dikutip dari Indo Eleven

Bagi Assifuah, satu gol yang dicetaknya pada pertandingan ini membuat dia berpeluang besar merebut predikat top skorer. Dia kini menjadi pencetak gol terbanyak turnamen dengan enam gol.

Pertandingan di Turk Telekom Arena, Istanbul, Minggu (14/7/2013) dinihari WIB, tak menghasilkan gol di waktu normal. Hingga selesainya 2 x 45 menit, gawang Prancis dan Uruguay masih sama-sama perawan.

Sementara itu, empat penendang Prancis yaitu Paul Pogba, Jordan Veretout, Axel Ngando, dan Dimitri Foulquier sukses menjalankan tugasnya. Tembakan Foulquier menjadi penentu kemenangan Prancis dengan skor 4-1.seperti dikutip dari Indo Eleven
