World Cup 2022: Ghana skipper Andre Ayew anticipates tough game against Uruguay in final group game
Ghana captain Andre Ayew is expecting a difficult game against Uruguay in their final group game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Black Stars defeated South Korea 3-2 on Monday to enhance their chances of reaching the last 16 of the competition, while Uruguay lost 2-0 to Portugal.
Coach Otto Addo’s side took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Mohammed Salisu and Kudus but two stunning headers in three minutes from Cho Gue-sung levelled the game after 61 minutes. Kudus added a final twist when he thumped in a third for Ghana to break South Korea’s hearts.
“I was always calm and confident and I knew we would do it. South Korea are a good team but we were confident. I can’t say that I knew we would win but I knew we will put up a good performance,” the 32-year-old said after the game.
“Now we shift our attention to Friday and it will be very tough but I am proud of the team and I hope we can do more.”
Black Stars are currently second in Group H and will need a win or draw their final group game against Uruguay to process to the round of 16 stage.
