Among the rivalries that existed in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar, perhaps the one between Ghana and Uruguay is one of the most recent and most curious, as the whole African nation still cannot forget that handball by Luis Suarez in the quarter-finals of South Africa 2010, changing the course of the elimination that was painted in blue and white in the penalty shootout.

Twelve years after that controversial play by the Uruguayan striker, once again an attacking element of the South American team made the Ghanaians get up from their seats to reproach the referee for an injustice that was taking place on the pitch, because between discussions of a possible foul with dangerous feelings for Uruguay, the player Darwin Núñez got into words and shoves with one of the defenders Baba Rahman.

The sporting injustices on the part of the Uruguayan attackers have already been impregnated in the minds of the Ghanaians in these two editions of the World Cup, being difficult to forget that both players wore the Liverpool jersey and that they were bad sportsmen against their rival, being still that save on the line by Suarez the most remembered and repudiated, as that hand saved them from being eliminated in the quarterfinals.

The Africans today have the misfortune that the unsportsmanlike attacker and the troublemaker are the available attackers for Uruguay, and the Ghanaian fans are very angry not only with those two players, but also with the result they are getting in their last match of the group stage, because with that double scored by Giorgio De Arrascaeta, they are once again being eliminated by the South Americans, although this time it is from the group stage.

Darwin Núñez was cautioned

Although the Africans in two games played looked like the complete favourites to take those last three points and take some revenge for that quarter-final match in South Africa, the reality in 45 minutes of play has been completely different, because even though the Uruguayans have given very poor displays in Qatar, 90 minutes of good football is enough to keep the dream of champions for at least a few more days, with Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez wanting to get that trophy that could not lift legends of the institution such as Sebastian Abreu.
