45+5': Ghana almost made it 3-0!
The Black Stars nearly had a third goal before the end of the first half thanks to a well-placed corner kick from Ayew (who else), but South Korea keeper Kim Seung Gyu was just barely able to punch the ball out of play.
53': What a save!
Lawrence Ati-Zigi — Ghana's third goalkeeper who got the start Monday due to injuries to the two keepers in front of him — made a great leaping save to keep South Korea out of the back of the net.
58': South Korea is back in it!
South Korea's turn for a gorgeous looping cross courtesy of Lee Kang-in, just in as a substitute. The pass found Cho Gue-sung for a header to knock past Ati-Zigi and give South Korea life.

FOX Sports analyst Landon Donovan said it best — it's the World Cup. It's a party! And Kudus added to the party with his second goal of the match to put Ghana back on top.
