The match ended 1-1 after extra time with Uruguay's Luis Suárez scoring the decisive penalty to win it for his side. The match was played out amidst tense atmosphere as both teams fought hard for victory.

Ghana took the lead in injury-time through Sulley Muntari, but Uruguay equalized just before halftime thanks to Diego Forlán's 55th-minute strike.

Uruguay manager Óscar Tabárez made several tactical changes during extra time without achieving a breakthrough. Ghana boss Milovan Rajevac also tried to catch his team off guard with some substitutions that altered the match dynamics slightly, though it wasn't enough in the end.
