Ghana will take on Uruguay in the last group H games. This matchup will undoubtedly be fascinating because it features two of the smallest nations in the World Cup field.
This matchup will undoubtedly go down in history because of the fervent fans in both countries.
Victory against Uruguay will guarantee the Black Stars’ progression to the next round while Uruguay who has one point and are bottom of the group must defeat Ghana by a healthy margin and hope group leaders Portugal beat South Korea in the other tie in Group H.
The must-win tie for both sides comes 10 years after Uruguay controversially defeated Ghana in the quarter-final stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
With the scores tied at 1-1, Luis Suarez used his hands to clear Dominic Adiyiah’s header and what surely would have been the extra-time winner. The resulting penalty was rattled off the woodwork by Asamoah Gyan and the game progressed to penalties that Ghana lost.
The loss remains one of Ghana’s most painful sporting moments and many Ghanaians are looking forward to the Stars’ avenging that loss.
The match will be play on Friday December 2nd at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah at 18:00 local time (Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3)
For Ghanaian viewers, that is 15:00 UTC
