Uruguay, Ghana are both out

This time, Luis Suarez cried on the sidelines after Uruguay was eliminated from the World Cup despite a 2-0 win over Ghana on Friday. The result also put Ghana out of the competition. Suarez played a key role in both first-half goals scored by Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Uruguay appeared headed for the round of 16 after inflicting more pain on Ghana 12 years after a meeting in the quarterfinals at the World Cup in South Africa. Then, Suarez denied Ghana a winning goal with a deliberate handball on the goal line and, having been sent off, he celebrated on the sidelines when Ghana missed the resultant penalty. Uruguay was in a position to go through in Qatar until South Korea’s late goal gave it a 2-1 win over Portugal in the other Group H game. That meant Uruguay needed to score one more goal in the dying minutes to qualify. It didn’t and was eliminated.
