High tension at the 2022 World Cup at the end of the match between Ghana and Uruguay. Both teams exited the tournament surprised by South Korea’s win over Portugal. The South Americans needed just one more goal to pass, but the referee denied two penalties, even after checking with VAR. Furious at the elimination and penalty not awarded by German referee Siebert, Edinson Cavani vented his fury on the VAR monitor. Leaving the field through the locker room tunnel, the striker punched and knocked down the monitor. An exasperated gesture immortalized by cell phones, which quickly ended up on social networks. A testimony of the great disappointment of Matador and all of Uruguay, for the referee’s decisions. First the obstruction of Nunez and then the contact in the area between Cavani and Seidu. No penalty, the end of the adventure for the two-time world champions in Qatar.
But Cavani is not the only one who has raised the tone of protests after the bitter on-field verdict against Ghana. After bursting into tears after the triple whistle, even Luis Suarez expressed all his anger on social networks. “It hurts a lot to say goodbye to a World Cup like this – Pistolero wrote on his Twitter profile -. But we have the peace of mind that we have given the best for our country. Proud to be Uruguayan, even though they don’t respect us. Thank you to all Uruguayans for their support.” That of the attacker is clearly an accusation about the management of the match and in particular the episode that could bring qualification to the 1/8 in Group H.
