Uruguay today his last chance to reach second place in the H group and continue in Qatar World Cupwhen in front Ghana with the urgency of a victory, against a rival who seeks revenge against the Orientals who eliminated him in the quarter-finals of South Africa 2010, in a penalty shoot-out.
What does Uruguay need to qualify for the round of 16?
The team led by Diego Alonso is forced to beat Ghana and hope for a favorable result in the other match, which is played at the same time. Before taking the field he is last, with only one point. In case of beating the Africans, it would automatically go to the Africans, who agree with the draw.
South Korea also have a point and face Portugal, so the Charrúas need the Asians not to beat the Europeans, or to do so with fewer goals than them. A complex but possible situation in a World Cup full of surprises.
The match will be played at the Al Janoub stadium, located 15 kilometers from the center of Doha, starting at 12 (Argentine time), refereed by the German Daniel Siebert and broadcast on public TV.
For the same group and still with 12 players, they will face Portugal, already classified in the round of 16, and South Korea.

In the match against Ghana, he has no alternatives and must win to add four units and be second, even if it will also depend on what happens with South Korea against Portugal, given that if the Asians win second place could be defined by the balance of goal
