MATCH PREVIEW
This quarter-final brings together a former football superpower hoping to recapture past glories and an emerging nation looking to write their place in World Cup history. Victory for Uruguay would take them through to their first semi-final since 1970, while Ghana can become the first African side to reach the last four.
Uruguay's two World Cup wins, in 1930 and 1950, came before Ghana had even gained independence from Great Britain. That level of success was always likely to prove short-lived for a country of just 3.5m people, but this tournament has presented the Uruguayans with a golden chance to re-establish themselves on the global stage.
Victory against the USA made Ghana only the third African side to reach the last eight of a World Cup. If the Black Stars are to succeed where Cameroon and Senegal failed, they will have to cope without a number of players who will miss this game due to injury or suspension.
Head-to-head
- This will be the first full international between the two teams. The Ghanaian side that won the Fifa Under-20 World Cup last year drew 2-2 with Uruguay in the group stage.
