The At Janoub Stadium witnessed one of the most important matches of the day. Uruguay and Ghana played their place in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 in group H. The “Charrúa” team needed victory to stay alive in the World Cup.
The match had some early 32 minutes with two teams that were enthusiastically looking for the rival goal . But while the first quarter of an hour of the game was passing, one of the first controversial plays of the game was generated. The main judge sentenced a penalty in favor of Ghana, despite the dubious position of an African footballer in a previous play.
But if Uruguay does not suffer, it is not Uruguay. André Ayew stopped in front of the Uruguayan goal, but the goalkeeper
Sergio Rochet’s save raised the spirits of Diego Alonso’s squad. The Uruguayans advanced their lines and began to reach Lawrence Ati-‘s goal with more danger. Zigi, but like Rochet, the African and his defense responded very well.
But Uruguay tilted the pitch more and more until Giorgian De Arrascaeta’s first goal came to the minute 15 of match. The Uruguayan player took advantage of a ball that was served after the Uruguayan goalkeeper stopped a shot from Luis Suárez. The “” of Uruguay was its hero, while Ghana’s “” was its villain .
Six minutes later, promptly to the minute 32, Uruguay would increase their lead on the scoreboard. The group “Charrúa” believed in the miracle.
With the Uruguayan victory and the draw of Portugal, both teams went through group H. Ghana needed to get into the game , otherwise they would they would say goodbye to the World Cup without passing the group stage.
For the second half Uruguay entered its game. Uruguayan football is generally used to keeping results. With the score in favor it is very difficult to get the “Charrúa” team out of concentration and Ghana suffered for much of the second half.
A 15 Minutes after regulation time ended, Ghana had their most dangerous move of the second half. A shot by Antoine Semenyo that really passed close to Rochet’s goal.
The minute was running 87 of the match and Al Janoub Stadium came the news that South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1. This result forced Uruguay to look for at least one more goal to be above the Asians in the table.
In this sense, the Uruguayans turned to attack again in search of that goal that would give them the classification. But despite so much insistence, the goal did not come and the South American team bid farewell to the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
With the elimination of “Charrúa”, another world champion leaves, just as Germany did hours ago. In this sense, is the end of a golden era led by Edinson Cavani and Luis Suárez, two players who shone for many years in the South American attack.
Portugal and South Korea are the two classified from group H. Cristiano Ronaldo’s team will face the second in group G, while the Asians will play against the first in group G.
