Gyan joins Milla as Africa's top scorer in World Cup
After his strike against Germany on Saturday, Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan joined Cameroon's Roger Milla as Africa's best ever scorer in the World Cup with five goals.

Gyan ran onto a neat pass from Sulley Muntari to send a powerful shot past keeper Manuel Neuer, giving his team a 2-1 second-half lead.
That was just for a few minutes as Miroslav Klose scored the equalizer to match the 15-goal record of former Brazil striker Ronaldo, the World Cup's all-time top scorer.
Ghanaian skipper Gyan opened his account in 2006, scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic.
In 2010, he led the Black Stars to the quarter finals, scoring three times in a 1-0 win over Serbia, 1-1 draw with Australia and 1-0 victory over the United States.
He wasted a golden opportunity to make history for himself, his team and the continent though as he missed a late penalty against Uruguay that would have put Ghana in the semis. Uruguay won the penalty shootout to go through.
Gyan's strike against Germany is the fifth goal in three World Cup appearances. Milla achieved his tally in 1990 (4 goals) and 1994 (1 goal).
The 28-year-old will break that record if he scores against Portugal on Thursday in a must-win encounter if they are to reach the last 16 for the third successive time.
