It was a moment that Ghana and their supporters will not remember too fondly.
The Black Stars were heading towards a historic win that would take them into the quarter finals, only to have Uruguay's Luis Suarez act as a second goalkeeper to prevent a certain goal from being scored.
And despite receiving a penalty, Asamoah Gyan was unable to convert against their 10-man opponents, thus sending the game into penalties and eliminating Ghana from the tournament.
Infamy: Suarez's actions were slammed in most parts of the world, except, of course, in Uruguay
Yet, four years later, the Liverpool ace feels no qualms about his actions, rather referring to it as "sacrificing himself for his team".
"For me [personally], I didn't do anything wrong," the 27-year-old recently noted in an interview.
"I sacrificed playing in a World Cup semi-final for my team-mates to have a chance to play."
Moreover, he added:
"Players are always exposed to risk. Every football player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those."
With both England and Uruguay having to come into this game after suffering losses to Italy and Costa Rica respectively, surely observers will be hoping that Suarez, should he play, will not pull any stunts like he did four years ago in South Africa.
