The needle between Ghana and Uruguay was once again palpable during their final World Cup Group H clash, with tensions reaching fever pitch when Liverpool star Darwin Núñez was booked for appearing to try and scuff up the penalty spot.
In the 16th minute, Mohammed Kudus lifted the ball over Sergio Rochet in the Uruguayan goal before being brought down, but referee Daniel Siebert pointed for a goal kick. However, the VAR told Siebert to go to the monitor and, rest assured, the decision was reversed.
As soon as the referee pointed to the spot, Luis Suarez was incensed and let his protestations be known as he screamed in Siebert's face. All the while, Ghana's players rushed to the penalty spot to form a protective circle around the penalty spot, pre-empting some potential foul play from the Uruguayans.
