Ahead of the game, Suarez had refused to apologise and there was penalty drama after 21 minutes when Ghana were given a golden chance to open the scoring.

Rochet brought down Mohammed Kudus, with Ghana being awarded the penalty after a VAR review, with referee Daniel Siebert consulting his monitor – only for Rochet to comfortably save Ayew’s awful spot-kick.

Suarez was given too much time in the area and, when Lawrence Ati-Zigi could only parry his strike, De Arrascaeta headed in from two yards.
