According to these pained and wailing Ghanaians, Ghana would have qualified for the round of 16 if Dede had not missed the penalty he took like a sick person.
This is what actually happened in the 19th minute, referee Daniel Siebert whistled for an offside but after consultation with the Video Assistant Referee, he awarded a penalty to Ghana.
Andre Ayew volunteered himself to take the kick for the Black Stars but struck the ball to the right in the direction of the keeper.
After the penalty miss, Uruguay went ahead to score two goals in the first half and Ghana wasn’t able to net even a single goal into the post of our opponents.
The second half looked promising after some solid changes were made but unfortunately, we were still not able to equalize the two goals to qualify for the round of 16 of the ongoing tournament.
Citing the golden opportunity Dede Ayew missed which has become a social media topic, some football fans have threatened to physically deal with him if he joins the team to return to Ghana from Qatar.
