AL WAKRAH, Qatar : Ghana's hopes of expunging the bitter World Cup memories of their last clash with Uruguay did not bear fruit on Friday as they were forced to relive the nightmare all over again in crashing out of the finals in Qatar.
But where Morocco and Senegal succeeded in reaching the last 16, Ghana did not, even after being in second spot in the standings going into the final round of group games. While Suarez was sent off, Gyan hit the resultant spot kick, that would have put Ghana through, against the crossbar, taking the tie into a post-match shootout, which Uruguay won.The penalty heartache was revived all over again on Friday at the Al Janoub Stadium as Ghana were given a chance to take the lead when Mohammed Kudus was brought down.
Ghana had always been expected to struggle at this World Cup after an unconvincing qualifying campaign in which a Nigerian goalkeeping howler saw them win a fortunate place in Qatar.
