The 2010 penalty miss still haunts me- Asamoah Gyan

Published on: 19 April 2020

Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan confessed that his miss against Uruguay in the quarter final of the 2010 world cup still haunts him and wishes that he could go back in time to redeem himself.

Gyan is currently the all time top scorer of the national team with 51 goals and has attracted admiration everywhere but that miss attracted some criticisms even to this day.

In an interview with Juliet Bawuah of TV3, he confessed how he still feels today.

"Till today, anytime I'm alone, it still haunts me. Sometimes I feel like the world should go back again so I can redeem myself. But I know this is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I accept that because there is nothing I can do about it."

He added: "I went there to save my country but I ended up being a villain which I accept because I know how people feel."
