After a lengthy VAR check, with goalkeeper Sergio Rochet being penalised for bringing down Mohammed Kudus inside the area, Andre Ayew was denied by Rochet.
Such a miss proved to be even more agonising for Ghana as Uruguay scored a quick-fire double soon after thanks to a brace from Giorgian de Arrascaeta.

As the first half came, everyone blew a sigh of relief after a chaotic 45 minutes.
