Watch: Luis Suarez Claims He Won’t “Apologize” for Ghana’s 2010 World Cup Exit

If the goal had not been intercepted, the West African side would have established a historic milestone by being the first African team to go to the World Cup semifinals.

The then-Ghana attacker, Asamoah Gyan, missed the subsequent penalty when he shot the ball on the crossbar after the Uruguayan talisman handballed the goal on the line and was sent off.

However, Ghana was drawn to the same Group H for the 2022 World Cup, offering a chance for the country to exact retribution for their 2010 elimination.

Meanwhile, ex-Ghana star, Ibrahim Ayew, seeks revenge ahead of the World Cup tie against Uruguay while speaking to the Athletic.

“I thought we had won. I was a substitute, warming up behind that goal, and I ran onto the pitch to celebrate because I was sure the ball had crossed the line.

“I thought we had done it, the first African team ever to reach the semifinal of the World Cup,” he said.

“The whole of Ghana hates him [Luis Suarez], and the whole of Africa hates him. Oh yes, we hate him. And we want revenge.” he said.
