Ghana vs Uruguay Live Score: So close yet so far for Uruguay

 

It was always going to be an exciting finish for Uruguay as they faced Ghana. For those who remember, Ghana and Uruguay were in a battle in the quarterfinal of the 2010 World Cup where Uruguay prevailed on penalties. 

 

Asamoah Gian was the one who missed the penalty for Ghana and today also one of their most experienced player Andre Ayew missed a penalty in the starting minutes of the first half. After that Uruguay took lead via two quick goals from Arrascaeta and the South American team maintained the lead till the very last. 

 

However, it was in the 87th minute that they got the news of an injury-time Korean goal and then they needed to score one of their own. Suarez had been substituted and Cavani almost got a header through, but it was not to be. 

 

So although Ghana were not able to take revenge in the literal sense of them going through beating Uruguay, they still managed to send the South Americans out from the group stage itself and this has happened for the first time since 2002.

South Korea vs Portugal Live Score: Everything fell in place for Korea

 

It has been the World Cup of Asian nations as yet another one of them surprised a European heavyweight to move to the Round of 16. South Korea needed to win against Portugal and also needed That Ghana must not win and also Uruguay must win by a margin of fewer than three goals if Korea were to win by a margin of just one goal. 

 

All of this happened for them as they came back in the game after having conceded only in the 6th minute. They scored through Kim Young in the 26th minute and through Hwang Hee-Chan in the injury time.

South Korea vs Portugal Live Score: Korea going to Round of 16!!

 

90+ Minutes

 

Goal……..oh my god!!! This is unbelievable stuff from the Asian teams here. After Japan yesterday, it is Korea with an injury-time injury to the hopes of Uruguay, who are leading 2-0 but need to score at least once more now to get ahead on the goal difference. For now, Hwang Hee-Chan has scored for Korea and the Uruguay players are suddenly all haphazard in their shape.

82 Minutes

 

After being blown away in the first half, Ghana now look very much poised to get a goal as they are having a lot of shots at goal and few of them are even on target. So far they have had 7 shots and 3 of them have been on target. They must score twice to get to the round of 16

South Korea vs Portugal Live Score: Korea look worried

 

85 Minutes

 

With just five minutes to go, the Korean team looks more worried than confident. The ball is coming to them, but they are just not able to make the final move and are shying away from taking a considerably good shot at goal. This is also the time that they need to be wary of not letting Portugal score because that will end everything. With nearly 10 minutes to their purse, they must score as even Uruguay are also struggling and might just give a goal away to Ghana.

Ghana vs Uruguay Live Score: Arrascaeta’s goal and Ayew’s missed penalty highlight the first half

 

45 Minutes

 

Ghana have no one but themselves to blame as they would have had a 1-0 lead had Andre Ayew converted an early penalty. Just after that miss, the shoulders went down of the Ghana players and then Arrascaeta made them miserable with his back-to-back goals. It ends 2-0 in favour of Uruguay at the end of the first half. If Ghana are to reach the knockouts, they must at least draw here
