Ghana captain Andre Ayew insists the team are not focused on getting revenge against Uruguay at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars were drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay, who ended their World Cup campaign in 2010 via a penalty shoot-out.
The defeat to Uruguay was a painful one for the Ghanaians, but Ayew is only focused one game at a time as they take on the South Americans in their final group game.

"Football's not about taking revenge. We simply want to win and make our country proud," Ayew told FIFA.
"It [against Uruguay] will be our last group game, so I just hope whatever result we get is enough to make it through to the next round. We have to focus on the here and now, what happened before is irrelevant today.
"We have to do our best to make the continent proud, because playing the World Cup is actually for the whole of Africa, not just Ghana alone. And that's really all we intend to focus on.
"Portugal are up there among the favourites and their quality stands out. Not to mention having one of the best players in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. It promises to be a momentous occasion and we have to live up to what people expect.
"We will fight and give our all on the pitch. Korea Republic also have a very strong and solid team, who all know each other well. It's a very tough group. I think the teams are more or less on a par, apart from Portugal, who are favourites."
