Goalkeeper:

Fernando Muslera - Uruguay

The Celeste goalkeeper may have had a hand, literally, in keeping the Ghana goal-count down to one but he has earned his place in the team thanks to two saves in the shoot-out. John Mensah and Dominic Adiyiah were denied by the Lazio netminder and his reactions allow Uruguay to take their place in the final four for the first time in 40 years.
Sergio Ramos - Spain
