This didn’t age well. Ghana went on to lose the game by a solitary goal and now sits last on the Group H table. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will face Uruguay in their next game of the competition. A win in their next game could boost their chances of Round of 16 spots.

Ghana, on the other side, will face Asian giants South Korea, which managed to hold off Uruguay in their opening game. However, the Black stars are still in the tournament and a win against South Korea would give them massive confidence ahead of their final group game against Uruguay.
