JOHANNESBURG - Uruguay's players
celebrated the penalty shootout victory over Ghana which put
them in the World Cup last four by partying with fans into the
small hours of the morning in their hotel.
The scenes were filmed by goal-scorer Diego Forlan and
posted on his Twitter page following Friday's match which
finished after 11pm local time.
The clip shows the players bouncing up and down in a circle
and singing songs, surrounded by fans waving Uruguayan flags in
a ballroom of their Johannesburg hotel.
Uruguay beat Ghana 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out in a thrilling
quarter-final on Friday marked by a handball on the line by Luis
Suarez which denied Ghana a last-second winner. The Africans
missed the subsequent spot-kick, leaving the score 1-1.
Forlan has kept fans informed of goings-on in the Uruguayan
camp on his Twitter page.
Earlier he posted shots of the squad enjoying a Uruguayan-style
barbecue in their base camp in Kimberley.
