Giorgian de Arrascaeta’s quickfire double to secure a 2-0 win over Ghana failed to stop Uruguay crashing out of the World Cup on goals scored.

La Celeste’s victory had them in pole position to reach the last 16 until Hwang Hee-chan’s late winner sent South Korea, who beat Portugal 2-1, through instead.
