Uruguay leads South Korea 1-0 at halftime

Luis Suarez's early goal has Uruguay leading South Korea 1-0 at halftime in the teams' World Cup second round match.

Suarez shot first-time 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.

Suarez's header in the 39th was easily saved by goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong.

Uruguay is defending well and breaking quickly, with the Koreans failing to use greater possession.

South Korean forward Park Chu-young struck the post in the fifth with a curled free kick, and was just wide from distance in the 32nd.

Defender Cha Du-ri missed a long-range shot in the 41st.

The winner plays a quarterfinal against the United States or Ghana.
