Disappointed Ghana captain opens up

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Black Stars captain Andre Ayew says he is disappointed with his penalty miss against Uruguay but looks forward to a bright future with the national team.

Ayew had the chance to give Ghana the lead after the Black Stars won a penalty 17 minutes into the game.

However, the 32-year-old's poor penalty was saved by Uruguay goalkeeper Sergio Rochet.

The South Americans went on to win the game 2-0, courtesy a quick-fire brace from Giorgian de Arrasteca in the first half.

The Black Stars have suffered group stage elimination for the second time in their four appearances at the World Cup.
