Crowds gather at Soccer City as Ghana take on Germany to see who will progress from Group C. Ghana are in pole position before kick-off and the prize for the group winners is a match against England in the next round Photograph: Shaun Botterill /FIFA via Getty Images Photograph: Shaun Botterill /guardian.co.uk It's an absorbing match with plenty of chances at either end as both teams take the bull by the horns and go for it. The match is settled on the hour when Mesut Ozïl, who's had an outstanding tournament so far, leathers a shot from outside the box which gives the Ghanaian keeper no chance Photograph: Kerim Okten/EPA Photograph: Kerim Okten/guardian.co.uk Despite losing, the result in the other game goes in their favour and Ghana are the first African team to qualify for the next round.

With the score goalless, it looks like Slovenia will be joining England in the next round ... until injury time when Landon Donovan steps up to slot the ball home following a save from the Algerian goalkeeper Photograph: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Photograph: Kevork Djansezian/guardian.co.uk Donovan's goal has broken the heart of this Algeria fan Photograph: Ian Walton/Getty Images Photograph: Ian Walton/guardian.co.uk The jubilant US players get a visit from former president Bill Clinton Photograph: Jeff Mitchell /FIFA via Getty Images Photograph: Jeff Mitchell /guardian.co.uk
