Uruguay v South Korea: Fans flock to Port Elizabeth to watch South Korea, co-hosts in 2002, take on the hosts of the first World Cup in 1930, their second South American opposition of the tournament so far
The Uruguayans inside the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium have good reason to smile, having topped their group, yet to concede a goal and facing a team beaten 4-1 by Argentina already
South Korea, never deterred by underdog status, strike the post through Park Chu-Young's free-kick before their defence switch off two minutes later, letting Luis Suarez tap in Diego Forlan's non-threatening cross
Both teams make a fight of the first half with South Korea peppering Fernando Muslera's goal with long shots from Park Chu-Young and Cha Du-Ri and Uruguay unlucky not to get a penalty for handball
South Korea keep up the pressure and possession in the second-half rain, including a great turn and run by left-back Lee Young-Pyo and two opportunities for Park Chu-Young as Oscar Tabarez's men sit back
The 2002 semi-finalists are getting closer, and the 1930 and 1950 winners appear to be happy to just survive, as this time Park Ji-Sung is thwarted by Muslera
If Suarez's goal was a gift, then Uruguay return the favour on 68 minutes as they fail to clear a high free-kick and Meslura goes wandering to let Lee Chung-Yong head the equaliser in to an empty net
What a shot: Uruguay are awoken by the equaliser and Suarez picks up Forlan's deep corner and nudges the ball past two men before curling it with his right instep in to the far side of the goal, in off the post
Uruguay sit back again and hold on for the last ten minutes, surviving a chance for South Korea substitute Lee Dong-Gook, setting up a quarter-final against the winner in Rustenberg on Saturday night
USA v Ghana: While seven of the remaining teams are from the Americas, including 1994 hosts the US, the Black Stars are Africa's sole representatives in the last 16 of their continent's first World Cup
Among the gathered glitterrati in Rustenburg is former USA president Bill Clinton - although whether his thumbs up is for the two changes in Bob Bradley's starting XI remains unclear
But Clinton's smile quickly evaporates as Ricardo Clark's mistake hands possession to Kevin-Prince Boateng, whose powerful run results in an 18-yard strike past Tim Howard in the fifth minute
The German-born Portsmouth striker, whose father is Ghanaian, scores his first goal for his adopted country - and what a time to do it at a packed Royal Bafokeng Stadium
Milovan Rajevac's side bombard the American box but USA centre-back Jay DeMerit is commanding in the air, thwarting Kwadwo Asamoah's hopes of a sniff on goal
But the complexion of the match changes when Jonathan Mensah brings down Clint Dempsey inside the box with a rash challenge - and Hubgarian referee Viktor Kassai instantly points to the penalty spot
Landon Donovan - scorer of the dramatic injury-time winner against Algeria - steps up and wrong-foots goalkeeper Richard Kingson and into the net via the post in the 62nd minute
Referee Kassai isn't particularly impressed with a rough challenge from Carlos Bocanegra, despite the full-back's protestations, brandishing a yellow card for his misdeamour
But despite three minutes of injury time, neither team can conjure the breakthrough before the final whistle, much to the disappointment of Jozy Altidore and John Pantsil
But just three minutes into the first half of extra-time, Asamoah Gyan muscles his way past Bocanegra to thump a powerful left-footed shot past Tim Howard as Ghana regain the lead
Kwadwo Asamoah sinks to his knees at the final whistle as Ghana create history and secure their first place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup
Defeat is a particularly hard pill for this US fan to swallow as her country crash out of the tournament
But for Ghana fans, and the ubiquitous "Pot Man", the party moves to Johannesburg, where they will face Uruguay for a place in the semi-finals at Soccer City
