World Cup 2022: We will come back stronger - Uruguay midfielder Federico Valverde

Published on: 06 December 2022

Uruguay midfielder Federico Valverde has vowed that his side will come back stronger after exiting the group stage of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

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.

"Sorry and thank you. "Soccer gives revenge, and I know they will be there as always," he posted on his twitter page.

"It hurts us the same and more than everyone else, but we will come back stronger."

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.
