Federico Valverde was seen celebrating Ghana's first-half missed penalty in front of referee Daniel Siebert, with the Uruguayan midfielder avoiding punishment for the action during the World Cup group match. Uruguay's players had ferociously appealed against a penalty being awarded, after Sergio Rochet had brought down Mohammed Kudus. The penalty was given by Siebert after consultation with VAR, with Andre Ayew initially adjudged to have been offside in the build-up.
