BBC tips South Korea, Uruguay and Portugal to battle for knockout face spot ahead of Ghana

South Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal are predicted to compete with Ghana for a position in the knockout stage by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

In the initial 2022 World Cup Group H match, the Black Stars lost to Portugal 3-2.

With his second-half penalty giving Portugal the lead, Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to ever score five goals at a World Cup.

Andre Ayew of Ghana then tied the score, but Portugal won and topped Group H despite Osman Bukari’s late winner with to two goals in three minutes from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao.

The West African powerhouse opponent, Uruguay, and South Korea shared the spoils, playing a pulsating 0-0 draw.

Assessing Group H after day one games, the BBC has tipped South Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal to compete for a spot in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

“In Group H, Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal will compete in the round of 16.” said the BBC.

In the 2016 European Champions, Portugal currently sits top of Group H with three points.

Meanwhile, the defeat means Ghana are bottom of Group H after Uruguay and South Korea played out a goalless draw earlier on Thursday.
