They're rolling all over the pitch. Good to see Camacho being booked.

In fairness to Camacho it did look like he was on the receiving end of some heavy stuff from Ghana. Somehow he has managed to make it look like he was badly cheating though on both occasions.

It's more the fact he was whining like being killed and the second the referee stopps play he's on his feet again.

Btw Adams scores

Spain - Ghana 1:1
1:0 Aquino 67.
1:1 Adams 80.

Adams equalises! Spain caught in possession in a dangerous position, Adams was played in and finished well.

Deserved equaliser.

Hopefully it will go to extra-time now.

this doesn't look good.

Spain is way to passive now. If Ghana scores now, it's probably all over for Spain.

well, with 3 mins to go, that would in all probability be true. Spain hasn't quite been able to impress their style on the game. That has always been a problem with Spanish squads but in junior championships they have often not had to face a physical side such as this Ghana's.

after 90'
Spain - Ghana 1:1
1:0 Aquino 67.
1:1 Adams 80

Bojan just slipped to miss a great chance in injury-time.
Spain has already used all their subs, while Ghana has still 2 subs left.

That (subs) could be key. Seems the Ghana team are fitter anyway. Both teams have 3 players on the pitch who are on a yellow, wouldn't be sruprised if someone gets send off. Tired players tend to mistime challenges.

I also got the impression that Ghana is fitter today. Spain had to play extra-time against France as well, so their players may be a little bit tired.

Ghana just replaced Adams with Bossmann to use their last sub. Strange decision in my eyes. Adams would have been a natural penalty taker.

maybe he was subbed because he was on a yellow. same goes for Tetteh

He was in no acute danger of being sent off though. I could only imagine he got injured by this tackle.

Bojan!!!!!

Spain - Ghana 2:1
1:0 Aquino 67.
1:1 Adams 80.
2:1 Bojan 116.

Ghana completely unaware after a free-kick.

Poor Ghana they deserved more from this match. Poor defending/great freekick by Fran Merida.

Bojan pissed off

Spain - Ghana 2:1 aet
1:0 Aquino 67.
1:1 Adams 80.
2:1 Bojan 116.
sent off: Bojan 121, 2Y

harsh result for Ghana, who were overall the better team. Spain cynically used their few chances. Not having Bojan will be a big blow of course.

I can't believe he has got himself sent off seconds before the end of the game.

Bojan misses out on the final though. What was his first yellow for?

From a pass of an ex-canterano, Merida

Harsh 2nd yellow, but Bojan has himself to blame for taking an unnecessary risk.

harsh 1st yellow as well. If he had been a Madrid player in La Liga, he would be able to play the final.

a normal foul, if I remember correctly. Nothing special, but it seemed appropiate. 2 yellow was a little bit harsh though.
