Uruguay leads SKorea 1-0 after 60 minutes

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa — Uruguay leads South Korea 1-0 after 60 minutes on Luis Suarez’s early goal in the teams’ World Cup second round match.

Suarez struck a one-timer from a tight angle in the eighth minute, after Diego Forlan’s cross from the left flank was allowed to bounce untouched to the far post.

In swirling wind and rain, Suarez had a 48th-minute shot easily saved by goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong.

South Korea is playing with urgency in the second half, sparked by defender Lee Young-pyo’s surging run in the 50th.

A minute later Park Chu-young shot high from eight yards, and Park Ji-sung had a header saved by diving goalkeeper Fernando Muslera in the 58th.

Park Chu-young’s free kick struck a post in the fifth, and he shot just wide in the 32nd.
