Asamoah Gyan's wizardry helped Ghana to snatcch a 1-1 draw with England in a friendly played at Wembley on Tuesday night.
A clinically taken first-half strike from Andy Carroll was cancelled out by Sunderland's Gyan in stoppage time.
Carroll fired home from 12 yards after Stewart Downing's questionable control shortly before half-time to score what looked like being the only goal of the game, in a contest were both sides had their fair share of opportunities.
But Gyan showed resilience and determination to find an equaliser in the first minute of injury time, dribbling the ball on the edge of the area before bursting into the box and finding room to curl his shot beyond Hart and into the back of the net.
With an estimated 20,000 Ghana supporters in the ground, the atmosphere around Wembley was loud even before kick-off - and both teams seemed to respond with some enthusiastic attacking forays.
Ghana enjoyed the majority of the early skirmishes, but England missed the best chance of the first half - Ashley Young somehow crashing his shot against the bar from five yards after Stewart Downing's clever play had realised James Milner into a position to cut the ball across.
The visitors nearly took advantage of that miss, with Joe Hart forced into an acrobatic save to deny Dominic Adiyiah's header from Sulley Muntari's pinpoint freekick, not long after Gyan had also squandered a decent opening.
Eventually, however, it was England who made the breakthrough. Carroll, who had been virtually anonymous until that point, profited from Downing's mis-control inside the box as the ball bobbled perfectly into his path.
Despite the attentions of John Mensah, the Liverpool forward rifled his left-foot shot first time between the Sunderland defender's legs and inside the far post to open his account at international level.
Ghana emerged for the second half with a renewed vigour, instantly threatening Hart in the England goal.
John Pantsil was unlucky to see his shot deflect wickedly off a defender and onto the roof of the net, with Johnathan Mensah failing to adequately direct a great headed opportunity from the resultant corner.
Milner then had Kingson at full stretch with a well-hit 20-yard effort that was turned around the post, before Gyan wasted one of the best chances of the game - firing wildly into the side-netting from five yards after breaking the offside trap.
As the game progressed towards a conclusion both sides made changes - Matthew Jarvis was given an international debut, after Defoe had already replaced Carroll, while Andre Ayew injected some pace in place of Muntari - and things also become a bit heated. Ayew and Milner were both booked for ugly late challenges, after Baines was lucky to avoid punishment earlier in the match.
Danny Welbeck - son of two Ghanaian parents - was then booed by sections of the crowd as he was handed his Three Lions debut.
Those same fans were nearly given something to cheer as Gyan charged down Hart's clearance, but fortunately for the Manchester City goalkeeper the ball sailed harmlessly over the bar.
In the 91st minute, however, Gyan would get a just reward for his endeavours all evening, while also making up for some wasteful finishing.
Seemingly being shepherded away from danger outside the box, the Sunderland forward suddenly burst into the area, cut onto his left side and found the gap between Hart and his far post.
The Ghanaian crowd were sent in to raptures, and when the final whistle blew both sides could be proud of their part in an open and eventful international friendly.
