charrua-failure:-uruguay-is-eliminated-from-the-world-cup-in-the-group-stage-[videos]

The Uruguayan team failed to straighten its course in the Qatar World Cup 1773 and was eliminated in the group stage despite beating its counterpart from Ghana 2-0, with goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who was stellar.

The Charrúa team came into this match with the need to achieve a landslide victory that would prevent their premature elimination from the tournament However, the goals scored were not enough since in the other match of this group, South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1.

Uruguay’s strategy took effect at the beginning, managing to take possession of the ball and going on the attack with some frequency, until one minute ′ Luis Suárez took advantage of a Ghanaian error to finish off the goal with such power that the goalkeeper gave a rebound that was used by De Arrascaeta to score the first goal with a header.

In the second half Everything seemed to be going normally for ‘La Celeste’, who saw themselves classified to the round of 16 since Korea and Portugal were tied 1-1, but at the minute 26 of that match, Hee-Chang Hwang scored to, surprisingly, turn the score around and qualify the Asians to the round of 16, which in turn led to the elimination of the Charrúas.

Now, both Portugal and South Korea will have to wait for the results of Group H to know their rivals for the round of 16.

Much of the excellent play by the South Americans came after goalkeeper Sergio Rochet blocked a penalty that he himself caused Jordan Ayew.
