FIFA World Cup 2022 South Korea vs Portugal, Ghana vs Uruguay highlights: KOR stun POR, URU knocked out

De la Cruz shoots it into the hands of the goalkeeper and that is that! Uruguay are out, Korea are through and and the Uruguayans are not handling this well at all. Jose Maria Gimenez is in the face of the referees as they decide to make their way off the field quickly. A lot of Uruguayan substitutes including the likes of Diego Godin and Edinson Cavani screaming at the officials. Uruguay are heart-broken, they were just one goal away from going through and that Korean goal that knocked them out came out of nowhere really. 

90+8 mins: This will be the last action of this match. about 25 yards away slight left of centre. Seidou had fouled Gomez to give away the free kick. Valverde and De la Cruz standing over it. 

90+7 mins: This is a basketball game now as both teams leave attackers upfield despite a counter from the other team. Coates could not poke in a pass from the right and appeals for a corner. Goal kick is given. 

90+4 mins: A Ghanaian shot is blocked quite brilliantly and Uruguay break. Maxi Gomez takes a shot from distance and that is saved by Ati-Zigi 

90+3 mins: Cavani goes down to a challenge from Seidu in the area. The referee isn’t interested and the whole Uruguayan bench feel there has never been a greater injustice in the history of football.

8 minutes for Uruguay to somehow find a goal. One has to remember that a goal for Ghana will also practically end everything for Uruguay. 

So, job done for Korea here. Now they wait. 

News has seeped through to the stadium but this is frantic stuff. As it stands, Uruguay are out as it stands but if they score one more, their goal difference will go above Korea! Yikes!

65 mins: Fantastic play from Uruguay speared by Suarez. He tees up Pellistri who shoots just wide from close in.

59 mins: The referee goes to check the pitch side monitor. Amartey is the offender and he seems to have got a little something on the ball. He went through Nunez as well so this is no easy call. The ref decides that Amartey had done enough to escape without a foul, no penalty.

Rafael Silva, Rafael Leao and Joao Palhinha on, Matheus Nunes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruben Neves off. Some Korean players seemed to applauding as well as the Portuguese No.7 walked off.

59 mins: South Korea's Portuguese coach Paulo Bento was sent off at the end of their previous match and he is sitting in the stands today. He seemed to be having some arguments with fans behind him as he was popping up and down in the first half. For now, he is remonstrating angrily with a member of the coaching staff sitting with him but he is sitting. 

This game is now a full 7 minutes behind the match between Portugal and Korea. Uruguay lead 2-0. 

53 mins: A Korean attack at last. Full back Kim Jinsu charges down the left and squares the ball to the edge of the area. It leads to the ball being pin-ponged between Portugueuse and Korean feet before the referee whistles for a foul.
