Soccer-Uruguay beat Brazil with controversial penalty
LAGOS, April 18 (Reuters) - Uruguay knocked three-time champions Brazil out
of the World Youth Cup on Sunday, beating them 2-1 on the back of a late and
highly controversial penalty.
The penalty was awarded when Oscar Pellegrin theatrically fell over following
a challenge by a Brazilian defender in the 86th minute.
Brazil protested vehemently before Nestor Canobbio converted the kick to send
Uruguay in the tournament semifinals.
Yet Brazil dominated the first half and seemed set for an easy win when
Fernando Baiano put them ahead in the 27th minute after a delightful one-two
with Edu.
But the Brazilians missed a hatful of chances and were jolted out of their
stride when Jorge Anchen equalised two minutes before halftime, cutting
inside and firing an unstoppable shot past goalkeeper Fabio.
Both teams then hit the post in the second half before Uruguay's late winner.
