During the Black Stars' first-ever quarter-final clash at a World Cup, Dominic Adiyiah's header was cleared off the line by Suarez, who used his hands.

The Uruguayan was given a straight and the West Africans were awarded a penalty, which Asamoah Gyan failed to convert.

Ghana then went on to lose in a penalty shoot-out, but Hans Sarpie says he will never forgive the FC Barcelona striker for deliberatley using his hands.

"I can't forgive him [Suarez] because it was not an accident," Sarpei told BBC.

"He knows what he has done. We were crying and you see someone who has cheated us is celebrating. How can I forgive him? Never. Never ever."

Sarpie also reveals the players were confident when Gyan stepped up to the penalty late in extra-time.

"I think everybody from our side was thinking 'yeah, we're going to the semi-final' because Asamoah Gyan had scored two penalty goals before and he made it look easy," he added.
