Uruguay beat Italy to book place in last 16

URUGUAY booked its spot in the Round of 16 with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Italy in an incident-filled final Group D match at the Fifa World Cup yesterday.Captain Diego Godín scored the winner in the 81st minute on a header off a corner kick.

Claudio Marchisio was given a straight red card in the 59th minute for a high tackle, forcing an already defensive Italy to hunker down in an attempt to force the draw.

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez may be in big trouble though, after it appeared that he bit defender Giorgio Chiellini in the late stages of the match.  — Online
