Uruguay dominate Ghana ‘revenge’ game; both teams sent packing home

Ghana Black Stars have once again failed to live up to expectations and have left Ghanaians in shambles as a result.

Ghana faced Uruguay today in the ongoing World Cup tournament with hopes of progressing to the round of 16.

Just as hopes were built, dreams came crashing down when Uruguay tossed and ravaged Ghana.

What was to be a revenge game turned into an eyesore, particularly when captain Andre Ayew missed a penalty that would have put Ghana in a lead position.

Luis Suarez’s side scored a few minutes after Dede Ayew missed a penalty in the 21st minute.

G. de Arrascaeta took advantage of a confusion that hit Ghana and scored in the 26th minute.

Arrascaeta doubled his side’s dominance in the 32nd minute.

Ghana’s defense proved to be porous.

Uruguay’s victory however did not materialize as they missed the bullseye, which is a place in the round of 16.

South Korea ensured Uruguay’s absence when they won their game against Portugal which took place simultaneously.

South Korea beat Ronaldo’s side by two goals to one. Portugal led Group H with 6 points.

South Korea and Uruguay followed with 4 points. Ghana was at the bottom with 3 points.
