Ghana vs Uruguay final score result Both

A 2-0 win for Uruguay in their Group H decider with Ghana prevented the Black Stars from enacting any sort of revenge for their quarterfinal lo s at the 2010 World Cup, but this pulsating victory for La Celeste came with a heavy price.South Korea's 2-1 win over Portugal in the corresponding group-stage decider saw them leapfrog both Uruguay and Ghana in the table, meaning they'll progre s to the Round of 16, and send both of these sides home.The build-up to the match had been dominated by memories of Luis Suarez's deliberate handball right at the end of extra time in their 2010 knockout match. Asamoah Gyan's mi s that day proved fatal for Ghana, but Andre Ayew, the only remaining player from that squad, couldn't vindicate it 12 years on.He sent a weak penalty effort straight into the gloves of Sergio Rochet, mi sing a glorious chance to put the Black Stars into the lead after just 20 minutes.Uruguay punished Ghana's inability to finish Shaquem Griffin Jersey almost straight away, afterSuarez's low shot was parried into the path of Georgian De Arrascaeta, who nodded in from close range to mark his first World Cup start with Uruguay's first goal of the tournament.Celebrations amongst those in blue had hardly died down when a series of flicks and volleys saw the ball drop to De Arrascaeta again, and he finished with venom to double La Celeste's lead.MORE: Ghana pre sed hard in the second half to get back into the game, with the dangerous Mohammed Kudus leading the way. Substitute Osman Bukari also had several chances to divert the ball home, but the superb Rochet, as well as his well-drilled Uruguayan backline, kept them at arm's reach.Coach Diego Alonso took off both Suarez and Darwin Nunez in a bid to close out the game, but Uruguay Barkevious Mingo Jersey 's approach was soon thrown into chaos thanks to what was unfolding between Portugal and South Korea.Anything other than a victory for the Koreans would have sent Uruguay through to the last 16, and had Ghana drawn, they would have advanced at South Korea's expense.No-one told Hwang Hee-chan though, the Korean sweeping in a 91st-minute winner to send his side above both Ghana and Uruguay, sending La Celeste out on the tie-breaker of goals scored! 1H 2H Final Ghana000Uruguay202Goals: URU De Arrascaeta (26 mins)URU De Arrascaeta (32 mins)Confirmedlineups: Ghana (4-2-3-1, right to left): 1.
