Going back to the recap of Mexico vs. Uruguay, Uruguay committed its first and only goal in this match in the 43rd minute just before the end of the first half through Suarez.
Forlan broke through the midfield and sent Cavani down the right flank. The Uruguay’s No7′s brilliant first-time cross was powerfully headed home by Suarez.
The action continued in the second half of the game with Uruguay still on top of it. However, nobody made another successful goal from both Mexico and Uruguay until the final whistle was heard in the 93rd minute to mark the end of the match. Congratulations to Uruguay for winning this World Cup 2010 football match against Mexico.
