Matchwinner Luis Suarez is dreaming of winning the World Cup after firing Uruguay into the quarter-finals.

The 23-year-old Ajax striker curled home a superb 80th-minute winner to break South Korea's hearts in Port Elizabeth after seeing his opener cancelled out by Lee Chung-yong. That was the first goal Uruguay had conceded in the finals, but it was not enough to derail one of the surprise packages to date.

Asked if Uruguay could go all the way, Suarez said: "We have been dreaming since this tournament started. Some teams start out as favourites, but my team is ready to fight hard."
