The Ghana national team triumphs.

The team ranked 64th in the FIFA rankings managed to upset one of the strongest teams in the world, England (4th place).

After a 0-0 draw in Group L of the World Cup, the Africans celebrated as if they had achieved victory.

Meanwhile, the "Three Lions" team not only squandered numerous chances but also received the mercy of referee Honduran Said Martínez.

The latter overlooked a foul by Englishman Ezri Konsa in the penalty area in the 79th minute, which, according to experts, should have resulted in an 11-meter penalty against Thomas Tuchel's squad.

Did Ghana deserve a penalty for this?🤔

In the 86th minute, as the English failed to convert yet another chance, legendary midfielder David Beckham, sitting in the VIP section, wished to sink into the ground out of despair.
