Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan was confronted by a young man at the Accra Sports Stadium over his missed penalty at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The incident happened as Gyan was leaving the stadium after supporting the Black Stars in their preparations for their World Cup qualifier against Chad.

Gyan was with a large entourage and did not engage him before walking past. The video was later shared on TikTok, where many people criticised the young man, calling his actions unnecessary.

Gyan’s missed penalty remains a major talking point in Ghana’s football history. In the 2010 World Cup quarter-final against Uruguay, the Black Stars had the chance to become the first African team to reach the semi-finals.

In the final minutes of extra time, Luis Suarez used his hand to stop a goal-bound shot, leading to a penalty for the West Africans. Gyan took the penalty but hit the crossbar, keeping the score level.

The match went to a penalty shootout, where Ghana lost and missed the chance to make history. Despite this, Gyan remains his country’s all-time top scorer and one of the country’s greatest footballers.

His visit to the Black Stars' training session was part of efforts to support the team ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. He was among several guests who joined the squad at the Accra Sports Stadium.
