Forlan at the double for Uruguay
Posted Thursday, June 17, 2010 by PA
Host nation South Africa were left facing the prospect of an early World Cup exit after slumping to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of a Diego Forlan-inspired Uruguay in Pretoria.
Forlan scored Uruguay's opening two goals, the first a deflected 25-yard effort and the second from the penalty spot late on after an incident which saw home goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune sent off.
Alvaro Pereira than wrapped up a deserved victory for dominant Uruguay in stoppage time as the South Americans moved to within touching distance of a place in the last 16. For South Africa the defeat means they have just the one point from their two matches and are now in some trouble.
