Fifa World Cup Live Score: Time running for KOR, URU moving towards last 16

Ghana have no one but themselves to blame as they would have had a 1-0 lead had Andre Ayew converted an early penalty. Just after that miss, the shoulders went down of the Ghana players and then Arrascaeta made them miserable with his back-to-back goals. It ends 2-0 in favour of Uruguay at the end of the first half. If Ghana are to reach the knockouts, they must at least draw here. 

The Korean Republic side have done well as they have kept themselves alive in the game and not given away any lead whatsoever to the Portugal side which got ahead very early in the game courtesy of a Ricardo Horta goal. The Koreans started building the pressure ever since and got a goal through their defender Kim Young on a corner in the 26th minute. 


Now, in the second half, they would have to come out all guns blazing and try and get a win as their competitors Urguwy are 2-0 ahead against Ghana in the first half. 

After Japan’s historic win over Spain last night, their neighbours South Korea will be pumped to get a win over Spain’s neighbours Portugal. With one point in their kitty, the only way Korea can get to the Round of 16 is by beating Portugal and at the same time hoping that Uruguay beat Ghana but not by more than one goal margin. If Ghana win, South Korea will be relegated immediately. 


Portugal on the other hand would look to avoid what happened to France in their last game and would want to finish the group stages with three wins in their kitty and that’s how this game becomes exciting, 


The excitement level will however be at its zenith when the Black Stars of Ghana look to avenge their quarterfinal loss of 2010 against Uruguay. For Ghana, even a draw will seem them from the Round of 16, but they will not at all be satisfied with a draw. They have been blistering scorers, scoring five goals in three games. 


However, they have conceded five as well and that’s where the hope lies for Uruguay who have not been able to score even a single goal in their two matches. The South American team would look to avoid the embarrassment that high-ranking teams like Denmark and Germany have faced after a group stage exit.  To do that, Uruguay would need to win their game and then hope that South Korea either draws with Portugal or loses. 


A South Korean victory will spell doom for Uruguay until and unless they win by a goal difference of at least three goals, considering that the Asian nation will win by a margin of only one goal.
