Thomas Partey has been labelled a 'traitor' for swapping shirts with Luis Suarez after Ghana's grudge match with Uruguay on Friday.

With both teams still in the running to qualify, the game had added spice following Suarez's infamous handball on the goal-line that led to Ghana being eliminated from the 2010 World Cup.

Just like 12 years ago, it was Uruguay who emerged victorious, claiming a 2-0 win, but neither team managed to progress after South Korea scored a late winner against Portugal to move into the last-16.
