United States 1, Ghana 2

RUSTENBURG, South Africa -- The nail-biter comeback wasn't there this time. The U.S. soccer team relied on it once too often.
Life on the World Cup edge came to an exhausting and crushing end against a familiar foe Saturday night, when Ghana -- led by Asamoah Gyan's goal 3 minutes into overtime -- posted a 2-1 victory that ended a thrilling yet futile tournament for the United States.
"We tried to push and push," U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra said. "I don't know if we just didn't have anything left because we had been pushing so much the entire tournament."
Kevin-Prince Boateng put Ghana ahead when he stripped the ball from Ricardo Clark in the fifth minute and beat goalkeeper Tim Howard from 16 yards. It was the third time in four games the U.S. fell behind early, and once again the Americans rallied.
Landon Donovan tied the score with a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, his record fifth goal for the U.S. in World Cup play, after Jonathan Mensah pulled down Clint Dempsey streaking in. But that was it.
