The South American nation were leading their opponents two-nil on Friday and heading into the knockout rounds as runners-up in Group H.

Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani then went to ground in the Ghana penalty box in added time, only for his and his team-mates calls for a penalty to be waved away by referee Daniel Siebert. Minutes later, Siebert blew his whistle for full-time, only to be surrounded by a swarm of angry Uruguay players.
