Quotes

"We started strongly and penned South Korea back in their own half, but then we made errors and fell behind. I think we reacted well in the second half and we equalised, but at the end of the day, our opponents' pace meant they were better than us and they wrapped it up on the break. The result changes nothing at all for us, because I'm not going to go mad about a single game. I believe in my lads, and we'll go into the game against Algeria with lots of heart and in good shape mentally."
Roland Marcenaro, Uruguay coach
