The need for Ghana to have their revenge on Uruguay was dire. Every Ghanaian wanted a win to leverage the scores and mend the pain they suffered when Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty against Uruguay in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In that match, Luis Suarez prevented a goal scoring opportunity with the hand.
Twelve years later in Qatar, Ghana’s desire to win was thrown into the bin when Ghana missed a crucial penalty and Uruguay immediately responded with two goals, held unto the goals until the end of the game.
