Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac was pleased after his side's 1-1 draw against 10-man Australia today despite the African side's inability to grab all three points against their under-manned opponents.
The Black Stars had a one-player advantage for almost 70 minutes at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium after Harry Kewell was sent off midway through the first half.
Brett Holman had given the Socceroos an 11th-minute advantage in Rustenburg, but his side were then dealt a blow after his fellow forward saw red for using his arm to keep out a certain goal for Jonathan Mensah after 23 minutes.
Ghana searched for a winner but it was Pim Verbeek's side that looked the more likely to score as Scott Chipperfield and Luke Wilkshire were denied by Richard Kingson in the second half.
Rajevac was content with the result, despite facing a potential knockout match with Germany in their last game in Group D.
He said: "The result is quite good because we have four points now. We will see how things go against Germany. Even if we had won, the last match would still have been very important.
"You see, there is no game won in advance at the World Cup and we can regret our missed chances today, but this is football. I'm saying again, we would have been in the same situation even if we had won and had six points.
"To a certain point, Australia now have got themselves more involved and I think Serbia will also be playing Australia for the result, so there are many different combinations. We are still very much in it and I am not unhappy with the final result."
