Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Al Janoub Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Ghana and Uruguay.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jose Maria Gimenez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Ghana.
- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 19' Uruguay player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 20' Darwin Nunez is having his name booked by the referee on 20.
- 25' Uruguay are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 26' GOAL! Giorgian De Arrascaeta scores on 26.
- 31' Ghana is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 32' Assisted by Luis Suarez with the perfectly-timed delivery and Giorgian De Arrascaeta makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 34' Rodrigo Bentancur makes way for Matias Vecino at the 34 minute mark. A tactical switch from Uruguay.
- 39' The energy levels are beginning to show. Diego Alonso might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 44' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Diego Alonso will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' Kamal Deen Sulemana gets the nod from Ghana. He replaces Jordan Ayew and will look to change the dynamic.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Darwin Nunez suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' The 28-year-old Federico Valverde has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 60' It’s a booking for Uruguay player. Luis Suarez gets a Yellow card.
- 65' Ghana have won 9 goals from 7 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 66' Fresh legs for Uruguay! Edinson Cavani comes on to replace Luis Suarez.
- 71' Maxi Gomez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 72' Another substitution for Ghana to replace Inaki Williams by Antoine Semenyo on 72 minute.
- 77' Inaki Williams, a Ghana , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 80' Uruguay ring the changes. Giorgian De Arrascaeta has done his job and it is now time for Maxi Gomez to step up.
- 81' It is a substitution in Uruguay team. Giorgian De Arrascaeta is replaced by Maxi Gomez on 81 minute.
- 86' Kamal Deen Sulemana catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 86.
- 87' Uruguay player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 90' Fresh legs for Ghana! Abdul Issahaku comes on to replace Mohammed Kudus.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Alidu Seidu argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- Ghana will have plenty to reflect on. Uruguay were simply the better side today.
