If things ended now, Uruguay would win Group A with seven points and avoid a Round of 16 match with Argentina.
World Cup 2010, Mexico Vs. Uruguay, Halftime: Uruguay On Track To Winning Group A
That’s because Luis Suarez’s 43rd minute goal has given La Celeste a 1-0 lead over Mexico at halftime.
Though Mexico has held most of the ball, Uruguay has generated all the meaningful chances, outshooting Mexico eight to three and recording the only two shots on goal.
The last of those shots was a cross from Edinson Cavani from the attack’s right to the far post, where Luis Suarez headed Uruguay into the lead just before halftime.
Mexico must now worry about South Africa as much as Uruguay. El Tri carries a five goal advantage in goal difference, the first tiebreaker, into today’s match. South Africa, now on track of finish even with Mexico in Group A, if up 2-0 over France at halftime, with France down a man after Yoann Gourcuff’s red card.
