Summary 1st Half: If today's first quarterfinal between Brazil and Holland had two different faces over 90 minutes, is this match between Ghana and Uruguay had two faces for 45 minutes.
Uruguay initiated clearly the best, and nervous and sloppy Ghanaians commanded in one position after the other. After 27 minutes of game time Uruguay had six corner kicks and it was just great save from goalkeeper Richard Kingson who ensured that it remained 0-0.
But after half an hour of play Ghana came into the game. Above all, it was Asamoah Gyan and Kevn Prince Boateng who grew and created chances. lacing cord Gradually even woke the rest of the team and then it was Uruguay who pushed back. Then, when center-back Diego Lugano and the leader lacing cord had to quit the game and then when shortly afterwards Fucile passed out after landing on his neck looked really dark.
But Fucile came quickly up on his feet again, and it looked to be 0-0 at the break. Then cut Muntari to the player who makes his first match from the start in this World Cup. A shot that Muslera taking on when he was not prepared for it, but at the same time wake of Muntari lacing cord to cut from 30 yards when the clock had up to 45 minutes. Uruguay is greatly compressed now and the target learns to lift Ghana further.

Summary: How do you sum up such a match? Let's skip the first 119 minutes of the match. That it then was 1-1 was fair, both Uruguay and Ghana had created modes for more goals, but also offered a lot of mistakes.
Everyone was waiting for a decisive penalty kick when Ghana free-kick just outside the penalty area. But seconds left of the extension. A header on goal saved on the goal line, there will be a new return and once again saved the ball on the goal line, this time by Suarez. The ball had otherwise gone into Ghana and had been in the semifinals. Now Suarez sent off and there will be penalty for Ghana but Gyan shoots in the bar and it goes to the penalty decision which Uruguay win after shooting slightly better shootout.
Meyp: @ Andreas Lundin: Suarez hero? Hope you're being sarcastic. Suarez is a lousy cheater who should receive a more severe punishment than a red card ..... SvD.se Andreas Lundin: Well, some sarcasm is in it. In hockey, it becomes the target automatically if you throw the stick against a puck that is heading into the goal, this is a given target, which instead becomes a penalty. The expulsion may of course have no effect because the game time was exhausted afterwards, so it feels wrong that it got this way. But on the other hand, if I were in Suarez situation, I had done the same as the rules are as they are.
You can not help but think of Asamoah Gyan, he has an entire continent's expectations on his shoulders when he'll go back and shoot the penalty. World Cup in South Africa that would become Africa's World Cup. For the first time would be an African national team reach the semifinals of the World Cup. But you see that Gyan is nervous, he will get punishment done as soon as possible. He never has time to collect himself. He may not want to collect himself. So will the shot, loud, maybe not too high, yes, too loud, it goes into the bar and there already lost Ghana this game. Incredibly brave of Gyan then turn into a perfect punishment in the penalty determines
