Uruguay beat South Korea 2-1 on Saturday to become the first team to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa, dpa reported.
Striker Luis Suarez scored in each half to set up a clash between the South Americans and the winners of the day's other Round of 16 game between the United States and Ghana.
Uruguay relied on counter-attacks to wear down the South Koreans, who managed only once to breach their well-organized defence at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
