THE ARTICLE
From http://www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com/world_cup_news_2010/uruguay_germany.html
Germany clinched third place in this exciting match
against a very spirited Uruguay side. Either team could
have won but it was Germany’s youth who finished
stronger against the South Americans, who tired at the
end. Both teams played like it was the final. Germany
opened the scoring when Thomas Mueller tapped in a
Bastian Schweinsteiger shot that bounced out of the
goalkeeper’s arms. That put Mueller in with a chance of
the Golden Boot. Uruguay’s Edinson Cavani equalized
10 minutes later with a superb shot into the bottom
corner. Things were level at the break. Diego Forlan
put Uruguay 2-1 up on 51 minutes with an acrobatic
volley. He was now on five tournament goals and a
Golden Boot contender. Marcell Jansen popped up at
the far post to head in a corner to level things again on
56 minutes. Both teams had chances in the final 30
minutes but it was Sami Khedira’s 82nd-minute header
that won the match for Germany.
