At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, on Friday, December 2, at
the Al Janoub Stadium, Ghana will play Uruguay in the decisive final Group H
match.
Both nations need to win to keep their positions in
the group. However, a tie would result in Uruguay's departure.
South Korea and Uruguay each have a point, however,
South Korea is placed third in the group on the basis of goal differential over
Uruguay. Portugal, who has already qualified, topped the group with 6 points.
Ghana is in second place with 3.
Ghana seems to be the favorite to take the second spot
on the table and advance.
Although it becomes difficult, the Black stars
wouldn't necessarily need to win.
CRITICAL THINKING MODE (Pull out your calculator Mode)
Given that the black stars fail to beat Uruguay and
settle for a draw, it leaves the team’s destiny for Portugal.
In such a situation, it means Portugal, even if they
would lose against South Korea, they should not lose by a two-goal margin.
Ghana has
scored five goals and conceded five, thus with zero goal difference. Whereas
South Korea has a deficit of one goal after scoring two and conceding three.
This means that Korea would have to beat Portugal by
at least a two-goal margin, hoping that Ghana will lose or draw against
Uruguay.
Uruguay is two goals behind and has not yet scored.
This means that even though Korea would prefer them to win, Uruguay will
advance if they triumph by a score of three goals while Korea loses against
Portugal by a score of two.
Only by defeating Uruguay and handing the South
Americans their first group stage exit since 2022 did Ghana manage to escape
the aforementioned scenarios.
This would be the ideal way for Ghana to exact justice
on Uruguay for the horrific quarterfinal elimination in 2010.
