Ghana fell to Uruguay 0-2 in a close World Cup clash. The dynamic African team was expected to be the first to score, but captain Anzuahue missed a valuable penalty kick in the 21st minute of the first half, a mistake that seemed to foreshadow their impending exit. In the aftermath, foreign media revealed the shocking news that Anzuahue's seven-year-old daughter, who had witnessed her father's post-match celebrations, was unable to cope with the emotional turmoil and suddenly collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
Anzu Ahiu, 32, and his brother and teammate, Jordan Ahiu, were replaced together in a rare move at the end of the first half, a move that raised curiosity at the time. It was reported that upon learning of his daughter's fainting, Anzu Ahiu immediately rushed from the stadium to the hospital, where fortunately, his daughter was unharmed.
It is worth mentioning that Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Berdy was heavily criticized by his country's fans for exchanging shirts with Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez after the game. The fans accused him of being a "traitor" because Suarez has been a hated enemy of the Ghanaian fans since the 2010 World Cup one-eighth final, when he helped Uruguay eliminate Ghana by blocking an open goal with his hand.
