Uruguay are out of the World Cup despite recording a 2-0 win over Ghana in a tense Group H clash at the Al Janoub Stadium.

Giorgian De Arrascaeta’s double earned all three points for Uruguay, but it was ultimately not enough to see them through to the World Cup last 16, thanks to a late Hwang Hee-chan winner for South Korea in the other Group H match which meant the Asian side leapfrogged Uruguay on goals scored.

De Arrascaeta netted two first half goals to see Diego Alonso’s side 2-0 up and that is how it finished, despite the best efforts of La Celeste to seek a late third which would have taken them back above South Korea.
