Asamoa Gyan has become the latest top African striker to miss a penalty
in a crucial Nations Cup match. He did miss a penalty in a semi-final match
against Zambia, who were the under dogs. Ironically, Zambia won the match.
Other top African strikers who have dashed their teams title dreams
with sloppy penalty kicks include;
1. NWANKWO KANU - NIGERIA VS CAMEROON

2. ANTHONY BAFFOE - GHANA VS COTE D’IVOIRE
