Published on: 05 December 2022

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is gutted his side could not progress to the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar despite a 2-0 win over Ghana in the final group game.

Ghana skipper Andre Ayew missed a penalty in the 21st minute as his kick was saved by Uruguay goalkeeper Sergio Rochet following a foul on Mohammed Kudus.

Uruguay went on to win the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Giorgio de Arrascaeta in the 26th and 32nd minutes of the game but it was not enough as teams went out of the tournament.

Suarez explained to TeleDoce after the game: "I feel sadness and disappointment."

"My son is also leaving the stadium with the image of that sadness, so for a father it is difficult, but he has to face the situation that he has."

Uruguay and South Korea both ended with a zero goal difference, but the side from Asia netted a total of four goals in their three games, with the South American team scoring just the two they managed against the Black Stars.
