Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedColombia's early Arias goal in the 14th minute proved the decisive blow as Ghana failed to muster a reply across 76 remaining minutes, a flat and ultimately fruitless performance from a side that had scraped through the groups as one of the better third-placed teams. The Black Stars depart in the Round of 32, their tournament ending without a knockout-stage goal — a sobering conclusion for a team that needed the goodwill of the standings just to reach this stage.
