On June 13, 2010, an intense soccer match took place between Serbia and Ghana, marking a significant event in the history of both nations' football pursuits. The encounter was a nail-biting experience for fans around the globe.

The match saw its first major tactical shift in the 62nd minute when Serbia introduced N. Milijaš as their first substitution, hoping to inject some fresh energy into the game. Serbia continued to shuffle their squad with a second change in the 69th minute, bringing on the towering presence of N. Žigić. It was clear that Serbia was searching for a new approach to break the deadlock.

Ghana responded tactically at the 73rd-minute mark, with K. Asamoah coming on as their first substitution. The fresh legs on the field were a signal of intent from Ghana that they were not settling for a draw.

Serbia made their final roll of the dice in the 76th minute, replacing another player with M. Jovanović as their third substitution and hoping this would be the spark needed to secure a win.

However, the game's decisive moment came in the 84th minute when Ghana was awarded a penalty. The pressure was palpable, but A. Gyan stepped up with confidence and slotted the ball home, giving Ghana a precious lead late in the game.

With the clock winding down, Ghana made two more strategic changes. K. Boateng was introduced as the second substitution in the first minute of added time, followed swiftly by A. Gyan being replaced in the third minute of added time, right after his heroic penalty conversion, to help see out the victory.

The match ended without any additional goals, cementing a historic win for Ghana with a 1-0 scoreline. The penalty converted by Gyan proved to be the golden goal that thrust Ghana into jubilation and handed Serbia a heartbreaking defeat.
