Ghana
PENALTY TO GHANA!
Kudus was onside the referee thinks Kudus was fouled as he followed up the rebound, and points to the spot!

Ghana
KUDUS GOES DOWN IN THE BOX!
J. Ayew cuts inside on his right foot and gets a shot away but it's saved by Sergio Rochet, but the goalkeeper spills it and rushes off his line before fouling Mohammed Kudus at his feet as he followed up the shot.
It was originally given as offside, but the referee will check the monitor!

Uruguay
NUNEZ WITH THE FIRST GLIMPSE AT GOAL
Suarez flicks on a ball with his head for Nunez to run on to, but he can't get the better of Alidu Seidu who does well to come across and win the ball back.

Uruguay
PELLISTRI DRIVES INTO THE BOX BUT CAN'T FIND ANYONE
Guillermo Varela sends the ball down the right side as Facundo Pellistri runs on to the pass and looks to get the better of Abdul Baba, but unable to find anyone makes a rouge pass which is easily picked up by Ghana.

GOAL IN THE OTHER GAME
And it's good news for these two. South Korea are a goal down as Ricardo Horta opens the scoring for Portugal.
5'
PARETY DISPOSSESSED, NUNEZ GOES DOWN IN THE BOX
Ghana try and create a chance 30 yards from goal but Thomas Partey is dispossessed by Giorgian De Arrascaeta as the midfielder triggers a Uruguay attack. Darwin Nunez bursts into the penalty box but goes down after a shoulder barge with Daniel Amartey and wants a foul, but nothing is given.

Uruguay
GIMENEZ IS DOWN FOR URUGUAY
It looks like a painful one for Jose Gimenez who is caught by Jordan Ayew. He'll be ok to carry on though.

WHAT'S UP FOR GRABS?
If Ghana win today, they're through, no matter what happens in the other match. Uruguay need a win if they want any chance of progressing, but they must hope for a favour from Portugal in their game v South Korea, who are on the same points at Suarez's side.
14:56
THE TEAMS ARE OUT
There are around five minutes until kick-off as the national anthems ring around the Al Wakrah ground.
