World Cup - Last 16 Uruguay v South Korea


Suarez stunner seals it for Uruguay

A brilliant curler from Luis Suarez won an entertaining game, and gave Uruguay the honour of being the first team through to the quarter finals of the World Cup. Suarez scored both goals in fact, and is looking like one of the hottest strikers at the tournament - if he's not bought by someone for big money over the summer I'll be very surprised. He currently plays for Ajax.

South Korea were worth their equaliser from Lee Chung Young when it came on 68 minutes. They had dominated the second half up to that point as Uruguay tried to defend its lead. But they just didn't have the quality of someone like Suarez. Uruguay are the first team from South America other than Brazil or Argentina to qualify for the quarter finals since 1978. And they'll be a test for Ghana or the USA in what must be the easiest section of the draw.
