Super Eagles arch-rivals Ghana Black Stars have been kicked out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup after losing by 2-0 to Uruguay in their final group game.

Two first-half goals from Giorgian de Arrascaeta's sealed a hard-fought win for the two-time world champions, but it was not enough to secure qualification to the last 16.

Ghana was presented with a great opportunity to get their so-called revenge mission on course, but captain Andre Ayew saw his 21st-minute penalty saved by Uruguay goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez.

Ghana has become the second African team to crash out of the tournament after Tunisia.

Cameroon faces a daunting prospect as they come up against five-time world champions, Brazil in the next game.

The Indomitable Lions need a win to progress to the round of 16.
