This Friday the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar ends 1536. During the match between Uruguay and Ghana, at 12 minutes of the match, the referee signaled a penalty in favor of the Africans. The South American goalkeeper Sergio Rochet stopped him and the Real Madrid midfielder, Federico Valverde, burst out with joy and celebrated it in the face of the main judge Daniel Siebert.
A Ghana attack ended in a play that had to be reviewed by VAR and later by Siebert , who after analyzing it on the monitors at the foot of the field sentenced the maximum penalty that would be saved by Rochet.
The way Valverde celebrates euphorically in the referee’s face is one of his trademarks, because at Real Madrid he usually does it the same way with goals. In this World Cup he was already seen putting it into practice.
In the debut match against South Korea, in the last ten minutes both nations were tied at zero and a move cut by ‘El Halcón’ ended in serve band and celebrated it in the same way.
Possibly the gesture of the Uruguayan footballer towards the referee was to show his disagreement before the opinion that he interpreted of the action that could have completely changed the panorama of the match. It should be noted that Uruguay and Ghana played the classification to the round of 16 in this last match. Those led by Diego Alonso were only worth the victory and Portugal not losing to South Korea. The Portuguese team lost in the final minutes to South Korea with a goal in extremis that forced the Uruguayans to score a third against Ghana. This did not happen, as the South Americans enjoyed several chances and dominated the match, but were left out of the ecumenical competition due to goal difference. Portugal and South Korea advance to the round of 16. Those of Cristiano Ronaldo and company agree as leaders of group H and the Asians in second place.
