WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL

Holland eliminated the only remaining South American team to advance into the Finals with a 3-2 score. A beautiful field goal from Giovanni Bronckhorst at the 18th minute put Holland in the lead. A smashing equaliser, also a field goal by Diego Forlan in the first half raised Uruguay's hope of making it to the finals. But it was not to be as the goal gap widened further with two consecutive goals, three minutes apart, from the Dutch in the second half. Maximiliano Pereira of Uruguay caused some momentary excitement  when he scored during the additional time. But alas, time was not on their side. Germany-Holland Finals is getting closer.
