Uruguay and Ghana are set for a rematch 12 years after their quarterfinal meeting at South Africa 2010, which is widely viewed as one of the most iconic World Cup matches in history
Uruguay and Ghana’s quarterfinal meeting at South Africa 2010 is widely viewed as one of the most iconic World Cup matches in history. On a tense evening in Johannesburg, this was a game that had everything; drama, controversy, heartbreak, a villain and a hero – incidentally, both played by the same person. Luis Suárez’s role as Uruguay’s savior that night made him persona non grata in Ghana, even earning him the nickname ‘El Diablo,’ or ‘The Devil.
Belgium knocked out of World Cup after goalless draw with Croatia Ghana went on to lose the subsequent penalty shootout and with it the team’s chance at creating history. Now, ahead of the first meeting between these sides since that memorable night more than 12 years ago, Suárez insists he has nothing to say sorry for. “I don’t apologize about that … but the player is gonna miss a penalty,” Suárez told reporters in the buildup to the rematch, per Reuters.
Lionel Messi has penalty saved but Argentina progresses to World Cup knockout stages with win The stakes are high this time round, too, though not quite as high as they were in 2010. Ghana will face Uruguay on Friday in a match that will play a big part in deciding which team goes through to the round of 16. Ghana knows a victory will guarantee its place in the knockout stages, with a draw also being enough if Portugal beats South Korea.
