PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Steven Matz is heading back to New York, with plans of getting into the Mets postseason chase by the weekend.The left-hander, who hasnt pitched for the Mets since Aug. 14 because of tightness in his throwing shoulder, went through a long-toss workout at the teams facility Tuesday. He planned to leave for New York later in the day, with expectations of throwing a bullpen session at Citi Field on Wednesday.If all goes well there, the Mets could start him Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies.Feeling good and Im ready to go, Matz said.Matz is 9-8 with a 3.40 ERA this season for New York, which entered Tuesday one game ahead of San Francisco and St. Louis in the National League wild-card race.Mets manager Terry Collins said Matz wouldnt be expected to go very deep into a game whenever he returns, possibly limited to no more than 50 pitches.I dont want to be surprised out there, feel like its spring training, Matz said. I want to be out there, ready to compete and help the team win.Being at the teams minor league facility during a playoff race -- Matz was on a field not far from where Tim Tebow was working out with instructional leaguers Tuesday morning -- is something he went through last year as well, when he was dealing with a bone spur in his pitching elbow. When Matz returned last September, he went 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA in four starts.While Matz acknowledged that being away from the team at this time of year was particularly tough and tested his patience, he insisted he is ready and the shoulder feels fine.Were in a pennant race here, Matz said. My main focus is on that. Darren Daulton Jersey .

Having played out a 1-1 draw after extra time, Colombia was trailing 8-7 in the shootout when defender Daivy Balanta sent the last penalty over the crossbar. South Korea will now play Iraq, which needed extra time to beat Paraguay 1-0. Ghana and Chile will meet in the quarterfinals after both teams won their last-16 matches over 90 minutes earlier in the day. Ghana came from a goal down to beat Portugal 3-2 while two late goals earned the Chileans a 2-0 victory over Croatia. Balantas spot-kick wasnt the only one that failed to find the net. Earlier in the series, Song Ju-hun missed for South Korea while Felipe Aguilar saw his attempt saved by goalkeeper Lee Chang-geun. Song had given South Korea the lead in the 16th minute when he beat goalkeeper Cristian Bonilla with a low shot after the Colombia defence failed to clear from the area. Colombia pressed long for an equalizer and had to wait until the fourth minute of injury time before captain Juan Quintero scored with a fierce free kick that beat Lee at the near post. The penalty shootout soon became inevitable as neither side was willing to take any risks by pushing forward in extra time. It was different story in the other late game, though, after Iraq and Paraguay has finished 0-0 after 90 minutes, with the South Americans having been reduced to 10 men in the 80th. Iraq substitute Farhan Shakor scored the only goal with a firm header past goalkeeper Diego Morel in the fourth minute of extra time. Paraguay, which defeated Argentina in qualifying, was without suspended captain Gustavo Gomez. It also lost Arnaldo Sanabria, who was booked in the 70th and sent off after another foul 10 minutes later. Iraq continued a remarkable run in its first appearance in the tournament for 12 years.dddddddddddd It won Group E, where it drew 2-2 with England, and will now play in the quarterfinals for the second time -- having also reached the last eight in 1989. Earlier, substitute Yiadom Boakye set up the equalizer and then scored a late winner as Ghana rallied to beat Portugal. Ghana was 2-1 down when Boakye came on the 75th. Four minutes later, Portugal goalkeeper Jose Sa saved his shot but allowed Michael Anaba to pounce on the rebound for the equalizer. Boakye then followed up by sending a free kick through the two-man wall in the 85th. Kennedy Ashia had put Ghana ahead with a 25-meter (yard) effort in the 19th minute. However, defenders Tiago Ferreira and Edgar both scored within the space of three minutes to put Portugal 2-1 up in the 73rd. Ghana was the last team to qualify for the knockout stage, after losing two group matches and narrowly advancing on goal difference following a 4-1 defeat of the United States. Portugal, the 2011 runner-up, had scored the most goals in the group stage but failed to convert two early chances. Aladje was left unmarked but sent his effort over the crossbar after 15 seconds while Bruma, who scored five times in three group matches, shot wide a minute later. Portugal dominated possession but ultimately paid the price for failing to make it count. Chile similarly controlled large parts of its match against Croatia, which has never gone beyond the round of 16, but created few chances. Nicolas Castillo finally broke the deadlock when he was set up by Sebastian Martinez and headed the ball backward over Croatia goalkeeper Oliver Zelenika in the 81st. Four minutes later, Croatia defender Jozo Simunovic sent a Christian Bravo cross past his own goalkeeper. Chile finished third in 2007 but failed to qualify for the next two editions. The other two quarterfinals are France vs. Uzbekistan and Uruguay vs. Spain. ' ' '
