Five minutes after the restart, Suarez latched onto a long through ball ahead of the defense. Suarez drew the only defender back before playing a short pass to Edinson Cavani. Cavani gathered the ball in stride, drove at the goal, and then unleashed a scorcher to put Uruguay ahead by one goal for the third time in the match. Uruguay held on for the final forty minutes and win 3-2, but in spite of being level on points in fourth place with Ecuador after the completion of all fixtures, Ecuador had a better goal differential, meaning that Uruguay will be going to the intercontinental playoffs. Ecuador officially qualify for Brasil 2014. With the second leg at home, should Uruguay beat Jordan they will be the last of the thirty-two teams to qualify for Brasil 2014.
