Ghana failed to win an African team’s third ticket to the Round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar after losing to Uruguay (2-0). And while South Korea had imposed on the wire against the Portuguese leader to hope for a qualification in the final phase of the World Cup, the Celeste had 8 minutes of additional time after the final whistle of the other meeting to register a third goal and thus steal second place ahead of Heung-min Son’s teammates in Group H.
Nevertheless, twelve years after the injustice suffered against Luis Suarez and their elimination in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa, the Black Stars were motivated to prevent the double world champions from returning to the knockout stages. Indeed, according to the indiscretions of the Ghanaian and Uruguayan press, the Ghanaian central defender Daniel Amartey would have affirmed in the mixed zone that his people were determined to keep the score of 2-0: “If we don’t pass, they don’t pass. For me, it was important to prevent Uruguay from passing. Nice revenge.
Amartey: “If we don’t pass, they don’t either; for me it was important to prevent Uruguay from passing”
