Uruguay secured a place in the second round of the World Cup finals for the first time when they beat Mexico on Tuesday. A perfect headed goal by Luis Suarez settled the outcome of their final Group-A clash as Mexico lost their way after first half. Mexico had the best chance when Andres fired in a left foot drive that hit the bar. Uruguay midfielder Diego Perez suffered a cut head from an errant elbow, and required treatment.
Diego Forlan began the move with a pass to winger and from his deep cross Luis Suarez rose at the far post to send a bouncing header past Oscar Perez. Uruguay added to their lead when captain Diego Lugano's close range header was well saved and Alvaro Pereira's follow-up shot was blocked. Surprised by three quick substitutions, Mexico fought back and leveled when Francisco Rodriguez met a Pablo Barrera cross, but headed wide.
