Some Ghana football fans have been arrested in Qatar for selling World Cup match tickets and they have also been charged to court hours to their tough battle against Uruguay.

The Black Stars have so far enjoyed the support of their fans in Qatar since they started their campaign at the World Cup and they will surely need them in subsequent games.

Ghana started their game at the World Cup with a defeat to Portugal which was a tie the Black Stars proved themselves.

When will Ghana face Uruguay?

Ghana must avoid defeat against Uruguay in their last group game for them to have the chance of making it to the round of 16.

The clash will also be a kind of revenge tie for Ghana considering how Uruguay prevented them from reaching the semifinal in 2010.

Rahman celebrates victory over South Korea

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Black Stars defender Abdul Rahman Baba celebrated Ghana's victory over South Korea with his son at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.

The Reading FC left-back was a second-half substitute, as the Black Stars defeated the Tigers of Asia in a thrilling encounter on Monday.

Rahman replaced injured Gideon Mensah late into the game, stopping the threat of South Korea's attack from the right.

After the game, an excited Rahman spotted his son in the crowd and walked over to him to share a moment together. Photos of the moment have since gone viral.

Boateng names Ghana midfielder

Sports Brief also reported how Kevin-Prince Boateng has been impressed by the performances of Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus at the World Cup in Qatar.

The Ajax midfielder has been in blistering form for the Black Stars, scoring two goals and providing an assist in two matches.

Kudus was the Man of the Match on Monday with his brace, as Ghana defeated South Korea 3-2 at the Education City Stadium in an epic encounter.

Boateng, who works with Sport 1 as a pundit for the World Cup, insists the 22-year-old has been the best player at the World Cup so far.
