WORLD CUP ROUNDUP Saturday's other games

Ghana 2, Czech Republic 0
COLOGNE, Germany -- Ghana pulled off the biggest upset of this World Cup and might have helped the United States along the way. The first win for Africa in this tournament was a stunner over the same Czech Republic team that routed the Americans in their opener. Asamoah Gyan scored in the second minute Saturday and the Ghanians peppered goalkeeper Petr Cech before getting the clincher in the 82nd. With the victory, Ghana assured that the United States would not be eliminated from contention even with a loss later Saturday against Italy. Sulley Muntari added the second goal after Cech made save after save. He seemed to have intimidated the shooters until Muntari sent a rocket of a shot into the upper right corner of the net with the Czechs down to 10 men.
Portugal 2, Iran 0
FRANKFURT, Germany -- Deco scored with a powerful first-time shot from outside the penalty area in the 63rd minute and Cristiano Ronaldo made a penalty kick 10 minutes from the end as Portugal advanced past the first round in the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. Portugal last got so far in 1966 behind its greatest player, Eusebio. Portugal has six points in Group D; it beat Angola 1-0 in its opening match. Iran remained winless, having lost its opener against Mexico 3-1, and was eliminated.
