Jordan Amissah, a Ghanaian goalkeeper, opened up about the most emotional heartbreak in his football career.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, Amissah responded to a question, providing a glimpse into the heart-wrenching memory that has stayed with him since the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Amissah's choice of image was telling: Luis Suarez's infamous handball that stopped Ghana's historic stride in that tournament.
Every football player's full energy and raw emotion were captured in this one instant, and for Amissah it was a moment that defined not only the game but also a part of his footballing life.
Suarez was sent off for keeping out Dominic Adiyiah's goal-bound header with his hands in the final minute of extra time. Ghana missed the resulting spot-kick. Luis Suarez celebrated wildly on the touchline when Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty.
The Black Stars of Ghana were eliminated on penalties after extra time.
