Giorgian de Arrascaeta bagged a brace on Friday night to demolish Ghana's hopes of reaching the knockout stages at the World Cup. And until South Korea scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time to snatch a 2-1 victory over Portugal, the double was shaping up to propel Uruguay into the last-16.
In the end, there was shared despair at the Al Janoub Stadium. Ghana, for fluffing their big opportunity to reach the last-16 for the first time since 2010 and Uruguay for not exploiting the fragility of their opponents during a catastrophic first-half.
