Ghana was up 1-0 at halftime after midfielder Sulley Muntari scored in the second minute of stoppage time.
He took a long-range shot which swerved over a Uruguay defender and into the net. No African team has ever made it to the semifinals which is what Ghana is trying to do. The winner of this match will get Netherlands on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.
Uruguay had some nice chances, including a blast by Luis Suarez that was deflected over by Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson.
In the latter part of the first half, the Black Stars began to take over and they had multiple shots just missed wide by defender Isaac Vorsah (header) and star forward Asamoah Gyan (shot).
Uruguay defender Jorge Fucile picked up a yellow card in the 20th minute and captain Diego Lugano limped off in the 30th minute for Andres Scotti.
