Match Facts
Portugal need to win and turn around at least a five goal swing, whilst a win for Ghana coupled with a Germany win over USA should be enough for the Black Stars.
A late Silvestre Varela header against the US has kept Portugal’s World Cup hopes alive, although their chances of qualification are slim.
After Nani’s early goal, Portugal really should have gone onto win, however Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey turned the game on its head.
Ghana will be kicking themselves for failing to beat Germany, when they had the European powerhouse on the back foot.
Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan helped Ghana come from a goal down, however Miroslav Klose’s equaliser meant the shares were spoilt.
Thursday’s fixture will be the first between the pair in international history.
