Serbia v Ghana half time report
Serbia 0 Ghana 0
Serbia and Ghana are level at 0-0 at half time in the opening match of Group D at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria.
In a fast paced, open match, neither side has managed to make the breakthrough so far, but it hasn't been for the want of trying.
A bright start saw Serbia's Marko Pantelic and Ghana's Anthony Annan both try their luck from distance in the opening 90 seconds, before Asamoah Gyan hit a free kick over the bar after Nemanja Vidic had felled Prince Tagoe.
Ghana will be the happier of the two, and giant Serbia striker Nikola Zigic was forced to block a powerful Kwadwo Asamoah strike after Gyan's clever backheel, before captain John Mensah headed a free kick wide and Kevin-Prince Boateng's excellent cross was just missed by an onrushing Gyan.
Serbia have threatened sporadically, but Pantelic failed to control Nenad Milijas' clever free kick, Aleksandar Kolarov's left footed free kick flew narrowly wide and Pantelic's long range effort hit the side netting.
