Ghana were beaten 1-0 by Japan and went out of the competition because they finished third in Group B. The Black Meteors exited because they had scored one goal less than Italy, with whom they finished level on four points and goal difference in Group B. Had Ghana found an equaliser against Japan - or Paraguay scored more than the one in their 1-0 victory over Italy - the Black Meteors would still be in the competition. Tuesday 18 August

Ghana opened their Olympic football campaign with a 2-2 draw against Italy in Group B. The 1992 bronze medallists let slip a two-goal half-time lead, yet the draw was no less than the Italians deserved. After Emmanuel Pappoe and Stephen Appiah both struck for the Black Meteors, the Italians replied through Giampiero Pinzi and late on through Alberto Gilardino.
The draw leaves both Ghana and Italy on one point behind group leaders Paraguay, who beat Japan 4-3.
