Uruguay advance in dramatic fashion
Posted Saturday, July 03, 2010 by PA
Ghana bowed out of the World Cup on penalties in the most heartbreaking circumstances after one of the most amazing finishes to a match the World Cup has ever seen.
Luis Suarez had used his hands to keep out a header in the last minute of extra-time but his red card will be no solace to the Black Stars after Asamoah Gyan's spot-kick hit the bar and Uruguay triumphed 4-2 in the shoot-out following the 1-1 draw.
Soccer City was deathly silent as Ghana players collapsed in tears, while Uruguay celebrated their first semi-final appearance, in which they will play Holland, for 40 years.
