Uruguay players lose their calm after World Cup exit as they chase referee down the tunnel; Watch video

After a humiliating exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup at the group stage, furious Uruguay players chased the match referee down the tunnel. Although Uruguay secured a win over Ghana 2-0, they could not advance to the round of the last 16, as South Korea was able to secure its spot in the next game after defeating Portugal 2-1.


Uruguay needed at least one more goal to advance to the last 16. Uruguay was denied a golden opportunity to move to the next round after German referee Daniel Siebert did not award them a penalty.


In the 57th minute, Uruguayan footballer Darwin Nunez was taken down by Ghana's defender Daniel Amartey inside the box. Siebert signalled players to continue the game, but he was later told by VAR to review his decision. However, the German referee refused to overturn his call.

Later, after the match ended and Uruguay was knocked out of the tournament, Edinson Cavani and Jose Maria Gimenez were shown yellow cards for their post-match protest. Both the Uruguayan players were seen harassing Siebert. Uruguayan star Luis Suarez was seen in tears after the match, as it could be his last world cup.

Meanwhile, after defeating Portugal, South Korea was able to secure a spot for itself in the last 16. South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1. Nonetheless, Portugal has also advanced to the next stage despite suffering a loss against South Korea. Portugal, South Korea, Uruguay, and Ghana are in Group H.
