Ghana beat the United States 2-1 in extra time to make the World Cup quarter finals for the first time in their history and ensure an African team will feature in the last eight of the competition.
The first 2010 World Cup quarter final is sorted out it's going to be Uruguay versus Ghana at Soccer City in Johannesburg on Friday.
An African side has never reached the semi finals of this tournament.
Uruguay beat South Korea in the playoffs by 2 goals to 1 and USA are out after they were beaten by 2 goals to 1 by Ghana in the second play-offs.
This report from BBC.
Normally the losing team on a night like this just wants to get back to the sanctuary of the dressing room, but after the match a lot of USA players were just sitting on the bench with towels draped around them looking utterly despondent.
Many excited African fans at the stadium shouted out "Ghana have done it", with vuvuzelas blowing endlessly in the background.
In the other playoffs tomorrow morning, Argentina is up against Mexico, England will face Germany.
Then on Tuesday morning, Japan will take on Paraguay, Netherlands is up against Slovakia.
