    And here is Shamoon Hafez's report on Ghana-Uruguay.

    Thanks for your company. Until next time...

  6. Later...published at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2022

    Group G is the final group to be decided in Qatar.

    Brazil are already assured of a place in the last 16, but who will join them?

    Second-placed Switzerland must beat Serbia to guarantee their progress, while a point would be enough if Cameroon fail to beat Brazil.

    Serbia and Cameroon both need to win their respective games to keep alive their qualification hopes.

    There will be high expectations after how the last few nights have gone!

    Brazil lead Group G from Switzerland

    Fancy Uruguay taking their strikers off. Has the manager not been watching these group finale games. Anything can happen. And it has! Brilliant drama.

  13. Watch: Uruguay penalty appealspublished at 17:24 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2022

    FT: Ghana 0-2 Uruguay

    Uruguay had penalty appeals of their own dismissed, as Darwin Nunez and then Edinson Cavani went down in the Ghana penalty area.

    The referee took a long look at the first on the pitchside monitor, but he wasn't interested in the other.

    South Korea's winning goal by Hwang Hee-chan was officially timed at 90 minutes and 31 seconds. Talk about leaving it late...

    FT: Ghana 0-2 Uruguay

    Ghana had been hoping to make it three African nations in the World Cup last 16 for the first time.

    But they have now failed to qualify past the group stage in their last two appearances, also going out at this stage in 2014.

    That's after the Black Stars advanced to the knockouts in their first two appearances in 2006 and 2010.

    There were unsavoury scenes at the full-time whistle as the Uruguay players and staff surrounded the referee.

    Edinson Cavani and Jose Gimenez both received yellow cards after the final whistle.

    It's the first time Uruguay have failed to advance to the knockout stages of the World Cup in four editions.
