'YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY’RE FUMING' - 2022

 - URUGUAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED A LATE PENALTY AGAINST GHANA, AGREE PUNDITS

Uruguay should have been awarded a crucial late penalty against Ghana for a "clumsy" challenge on Edinson Cavani, according to a panel of BBC pundits. Mauricio Pochettino, Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer were in agreement that the referee made the wrong decision. It could have been a decisive moment, as Uruguay were eliminated from the World Cup on goals scored, falling one short of South Korea.

Mauricio Pochettino and Alan Shearer agreed that Uruguay should have been awarded a late penalty against Ghana that could have spared them from an early World Cup exit.

Diego Alonso’s side crashed out on Friday despite beating Ghana 2-0, as South Korea’s 2-1 win over Portugal meant the Uruguayans missed out on the goals scored tiebreaker.

One more goal would have been enough to send the South Americans through, and they thought they had earned a glorious chance to score it when Cavani was caught in the back of the leg by Alidu Seidu as he charged into the box.

Referee Daniel Siebert waved play on, however, and VAR didn’t intervene to make him have a second look.

There was unanimous agreement amongst the BBC pundits after the game that Uruguay should have had a penalty.

Former Tottenham and PSG manager Pochettino said: “For me it was a penalty. You’re right that Cavani was clever, he’s waiting and slows down.”
