Suarez red card gamble saves Uruguay and puts them in the semifinals

Ghana's Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty kick to win the game at the end of extra time, as Uruguay's Luis Suarez got a red card for blocking the ball with his arm before it crossed the goal-line. It was a gamble that Suarez took that enabled Uruguay to win on penalties.

Regulation time saw brilliant goals from Ghana's Sulley Muntari before halftime and Uruguay's Diego Forlan on the 55th minute to set the stage for the extra session.
