not much of a surprise

in the second round of group matches, GROUP A's South Africa took on Uruguay. the game was one-sided as Uruguay ran out 3-0 winners over a 10-man South Africa side. Uruguay's Diego Forlan scored twice as he helped his side get their first 3 points of the tournament. he scored a stunning long-range dipping effort and converted a penalty. Itumeleng Khune was sent off late in the match as he was adjudged to have fouled Luis Suarez in the penalty area. the South African side had a few chances too, only to miss the target all the time. Uruguay have almost secured a berth in the last 16 whereas South Africa have to beat France in their next match to keep their hopes of going through alive. OVERALL - a one-sided match, but Uruguay have shown they have what it takes to match the bigger teams. South Africa still need more work, especially cohesiveness, if they are to qualify for the next round.
