Uruguay claimed a crucial victory away to Ecuador to keep their
hopes of World Cup qualification alive going into the final round
of fixtures in the South America zone.
An injury-time penalty from Diego Forlan gave the Charruas victory
at the Olimpico Atahualpa and they now need a win over Argentina
on Wednesday to achieve automatic qualification.
Antonio Valencia had put the home side ahead in the second half
only for Luis Suarez to equalise almost immediately.
In the 90th minute, Brazilian referee Salvio Fagundes awarded
a penalty after ruling Edison Cavani had been fouled in the area
by Elizaga. And Atletico Madrid striker Forlan made no mistake
from the post to earn his side a crucial victory. |
