When the 2022 World Cup groups were announced, Ghana v Uruguay is a game that many will have been marking on their calendars – and they can barely have dreamt for it to be better set up.
12 years on from that Luis Suarez handball, which helped the South American side secure a place in the semi-finals of South Africa 2010 in the most controversial style, the Black Stars can secure their revenge.
A win would mean they qualify for the last 16 for the first time since that tournament – and knock out Uruguay in the process.
Assuming Portugal aren’t beaten by South Korea, Uruguay will qualify with a win and a draw would send Ghana through to the knockout stages.
