Something from nothing is what players like Diego Forlán gives you, and in the 42nd minute against Holland, that something was a 26-yard goal with his off-foot to pull La Celeste even with the Netherlands, 1-1.
World Cup 2010, Netherlands Vs. Uruguay: Diego Forlan From Distance Equalizes For La Celeste
Taking an innocent ball from his midfielders, Forlán cut-in from even with the right post to the middle of goal, 26 yards out. The Uruguayan star let a shot go off his left foot that appeared to curl as it came upon goalkeeper Maarten Stekelengurg, going off the `keeper’s left hand, into the net.
It was Forlán’s fourth goal of the competition.
The score remains tied in the 46th minute.
