Game # 6 - Uruguay vs Costa Rica

[catalyst2]

It all looked like it was going according to plan - half-time and Uruguay (who so many have mentioned as their dark horse pick for the Cup itself) were a goal up and seemingly very comfortable. Clearly Costa Rica were having none of that because two quick goals knocked the heart out of Uruguay early in the second half with a third just completing the rout. Just to top it off, the Uruguayan Pereira got himself sent off, the first of this competition. It put Costa Rica top of their group and Uruguay on the bottom - that goal difference is always important.
