Zdravko Kuzmanovic's stupid handball gifted Ghana a penalty in the final stages, as Serbia fell 1-0 in Group D. Asamoah Gyan netted from the spot, but Serbia were always struggling once Aleksandar Lukovic had been sent off in the 74th minute.
The impressive Gyan, who also hit the post twice for Ghana, fired home from the spot in 84th minute after Kuzmanovic had been adjudged to have handled a cross in the area.
That sealed a closely-fought Group D encounter at Loftus Versfeld stadium and puts Ghana in a promising position to progress through to the knockout phase in their second appearance at the World Cup finals.
For Serbia, who were playing with a man less since the 74th minute following the dismissal of Lukovic, they now have a mountain to climb as they face group favourites Germany in their next match.
