Muslera saves Uruguay's night

URUGUAY ousted hosts ARGENTINA from the COPA AMERICA, winning tonight's quarterfinal 5-4 on penalties after the back-and-forth match finished, 1-1, after extra time.
Uruguay's goalkeeper, Fernando Muslera, saved a spot-kick attempt by Carlos Tevez for the difference in the shootout. Muslera plays for Lazio in Rome, and was ironically born in Buenos Aires.
I watched the match on UNIVISION, knowing just enough soccer-related Spanish to get by.
Uruguay face another upset winner in the competition's semifinals, after PERU topped COLOMBIA, 2-0.
Now, my energy is beginning to flag. I blame too much driving, and an exciting finish to the soccer match.
