Former Ghana forward David Accam has warned Black Stars players not to think about avenging 2010 defeat to Uruguay at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana will take on Uruguay in their final Group H clash on Friday as they seek to progress to the knockout stage.
After two games in Group H, Uruguay have managed just a point after suffering defeat against Portugal on Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Ghana earned an important win to boost their chances of progressing to the round of 16.
The Black Stars inflicted a 3-2 win over the Asian giants to boost their chances of qualifying to the knockout phase.
The four-time African champions must avoid defeat against Uruguay to book a spot in the Round of 16.
Speaking on Joy Sports, the former Black Stars striker urged the players to stay focus ahead of the Uruguay duel.
“For me, it’s a new game. Forget what happened five-ten years ago, is a new game and we have to focus on our game plan and be ready, like what we did today, in the last 15 minutes we didn’t play well but we did everything to win the game”
“So our next game against Uruguay, we just have to focus on the game and whatever happens we shouldn’t lose, just go out there and enjoy the game” he said.
Ghana were denied a semifinal berth at the World Cup courtesy of a Luis Suarez handball incident in the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The former Liverpool and Barcelona forward prevent a goal-bound header from Ghana's Dominic Adiyiah in the final minute of extra time at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.
Suarez essentially produced a save on the line worthy of a goalkeeper and he was shown a straight red card as a result.
Ghana were also awarded a penalty, but Asamoah Gyan’s attempt from 12 yards crashed into the crossbar, which resulted in Suarez going mental on the touchline and sent the game to a shootout.
Uruguay won the penalty shoot-out to progress to the semifinals with Luis Suarez celebrated for his demonic act.
