My sources reliably inform me they will play 4-1-4-1 with Kevin-Prince Boateng given the licence to roam from midfield." "Nice movement and crisp passing by Ghana, but it's very hard to call - I definitely think Forlan and Suarez will get some more chances before the 90 minutes are up." "Nobody could accuse Uruguay coach Oscar tabarez of negative tactics - with Nicolas Lodeiro and Sebastian Abreu into the action he has four very attack-minded players on the park. Soccer City is eerily quiet. We're into injury time in Johannesburg and we're due about three extra minutes. "This result depends on us. Newspapers across this great country of South Africa have been screaming their support for And so the time has come for me to hand you back to Uruguay are bossing this and Diego Forlan is looking very dangerous on the break, along with partner-in-crime Luis Suarez. I need answers.

Edinson Cavani goes on a lung-bursting run forward down the inside right channel and he latches on to a pass from Diego Forlan - he seems to be taken out by Isaac Vorsah, but the referee gives nothing. Uruguay are having most of the ball, but they haven't created a clear-cut chance yet. We nearly had our winner. Wasteful. All Uruguay. "Both goals, in my eyes, have been the fault of the goalkeeper. Can Uruguay go and win it without him, or will Ghana recover from the hammer blow of missing that spot-kick? "Luis Suarez was crying one minute and doing cartwheels the next - what a game!" "Ghana had come right back into this engrossing contest, no doubt about that, before Sulley Muntari's strike gave them the lead.

Oscar Tabarez makes a change, bringing Nicolas Lodeiro on for Alvaro Fernandez.

My most sincere wish is that both teams have a desire to win that transcends their fear of losing." Hans Sarpei is the next Ghanaian to go down, but he trudges back on too. These boys have all put in one heck of a shift tonight. Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez embrace as the Uruguay players go over to a pocket of their fans in Jo'burg. When it lands, in the middle of a packed six-yard box, he punches again but is rescued by the referee. Abreu is known as El Loco.

21:44 HALF-TIME Uruguay 1-1 Ghana. Asamoah Gyan causes mayhem inside the Uruguay area and Andres Scotti's sliced clearance nearly loops into his own net, only for Maxi Pereira to boot the ball of from near his own goalline. It's just horrible this, isn't it?

Well, we're back under way at Soccer City and Uruguay have 45 minutes to score otherwise they are out of the World Cup.

Uruguay have stepped it up a touch and Ghana are not helped by Richard Kingson mis-controlling the ball and conceding a corner. Dominic Adiyiah wins a corner down the Ghana right and gesticulates to the crowd to try and get them vocal again - great work from the 20-year-old who has only just come on.

The loss of skipper Diego Lugano is a big blow to Uruguay given that fellow defensive rock Diego Godin is also out injured." Lovely introduction. Half a chance, that. That's their changes all done already.

They remain so, so dangerous, those Uruguay strikers. Olegario Benquerenca blows his whistle and for their second successive game Ghana are taken to extra-time as they are Uruguay are locked at 1-1. "This Johannesburg crowd is desperate to get behind the African side. Let's remind ourselves of Uruguay and Ghana's World Cup form to date, then. One penalty wasn't enough to separate the sides, so we're going to have a shootout. the voice in my head asks. Now I'm never one to blow my own trumpet of course (ahem), but haven't I been saying the "It's a big loss for Uruguay losing the captain Lugano, but you've got to say that Ghana have really started pushing them back and Uruguay's front two are getting isolated."

"Interesting how Oscar Tabarez had all his players surround him in a tight huddle while he made an impassioned speech. He might have wanted it, but Asamoah Gyan takes it and curls the ball a few yards over. I wonder if Asamoah Gyan will take one. Boy there are some tired legs out there. I just wonder if the keeper was unsighted."

Ghana need to get a foothold in this game - on the rare occasions they get the ball, they keep giving it back straight away. I think my esteemed colleague Paul Fletcher might be on to something there. Hope the game is of equal quality. He was nowhere near it." Then again, the game's easy from the commentary box."

Encouragement by the bucketload for Ghana. Second half action just changed with a huge strike at the 55 minute mark by Diego Forlan.
