    Bjorn Kuipers brings this game to a close. Uruguay in the end deservedly wins the game, as Diego Forlan scores in his 100th internation cap for Uruguay. Since then Uruguay managed to control the game. In the first half Uruguay had the initiative but couldn't finish with the lead, as John Obi Mikel anulled Diego Lugano's strike.
