United States defeats Ghana in World Cup opener

The United States men's national soccer/football team defeated the Ghana national team 2-1 in their first match in Group G of the FIFA World Cup on Monday in Natal, Brazil. The United States have suffered multiple defeats to Ghana in recent years, so this makes it an exciting win.

The first goal was scored by the U.S. just 30 seconds into the match by Clint Dempsey. Ghana did not answer until the 81st minute with a goal by André Ayew. The U.S. scored again with John Brooks four minutes later, and went on to take the win.

Ghana's next match is with Germany on Saturday, while the United States will play Portugal on Sunday.
