On December 2, 2022, Black stars got the chance to rewrite this history. Ghanaians had high hopes for this game especially when the German referee ruled out a penalty against Uruguay. Finally, an opportunity, but Dede Ayew, crushed the hearts of his people, destabilizing the entire team throughout the first half of the game. Uruguay on the other hand, utilized every chance and scored 2 goals within 10 minutes.
Ghana Black Stars came back with much stronger aggression but the Uruguayans kept a defensive unit making it impossible for the Black Stars to score.
With Korea scoring 2 against Portugal, a match that was played concurrently with the Ghana and Uruguay, game, Korea has qualified for the round of 16 as well as Portugal.
The Black Stars will be heading home.
