<p>Uruguay capitalized on the penalty miss and the fact that it had taken an effect mentally on the Ghanaian players; hence scoring two successive goals 5 minutes later.</p>

<p>Giorgian de Arrascaeta scored all the two successive goals to give Uruguay a little hope. He got the first one on the 26<sup>th</sup> minute and then six minutes later, he added the second goal to it.</p>

<p>Uruguay was hoping for Portugal to win or draw against South Korea, but South Korea grabbed a late winner to place then second on the table, which gave them qualification to the next round.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ghana lost their first game against Portugal and won the next one against South Korea. At this point, they needed a win or a draw to take them through to the next round, but they couldn’t get it against Uruguay.</p>

<p>Ghana will be looking for another coach to take over since Otto Addo has decided to step down as coach of the black stars. A candidate who is likely to take over is Chris Hughton.</p>
