South Africa risk becoming the first World Cup hosts to be eliminated from the first round after slumping to a 3-0 defeat by Uruguay in their second Group A game on Wednesday.

A brace from striker Diego Forlan, including a late penalty that resulted in the dismissal of South Africa keeper Itumeleng Khune, gave Uruguay a comfortable 2-0 lead to ensure they would claim all three points.

South Africa�s 30-year-old stand-in keeper Moeneeb Josephs misjudged a cross to leave Alvaro Pereira with an easy tap in for Uruguay’s third goal deep in stoppage time.

Watch the highlights:

South Africa 0-1 Uruguay
