WORLD CUP: Uruguay beat Ghana but both knocked out

Uruguay beat Ghana 2-0, but went out of the World Cup on goals scored as they finished third behind South Korea in Group H, despite Luiz Suarez’s heroics.

The Uruguay striker played a major role in both of Uruguay’s goals and was in tears after the final whistle.

Both goals were scored by Giorgio de Arrascaeta, the first a close-range header, the second a sublime volley.

In Group H’s other game, South Korea’s 2-1 victory over group winners Portugal was enough to take them through in second place.

Uruguay and South Korea both ended with a zero goal difference, but the side from Asia netted a total of four goals in their three games, with the South American team scoring just the two they managed against Ghana. (BBC Sport)
