MONTEVIDEO, June 8 -- Uruguay revenged last year's World Cup semifinal defeat by the Netherlands as they beat the Dutch 4-3 on penalties after their friendly finished 1-1 in regular time on Wednesday.
Uruguay's Liverpool striker Luis Suarez opened the scoring eight minutes from time but the Dutch levelled a minute into time added on as Suarez's clubmate Dirk Kuyt popped up to head home.
However, the Dutch messed up in the penalty shootout out as Robin van Persie and Eljero Elia missed their penalties and the hosts sealed victory when Alvaro Pereira made no mistake to give them victory.
The win gave Uruguay a boost just three weeks away from the start of the Copa America, which they along with Argentina hold the record of victories with 14.
Uruguay will finish their Copa preparations with another friendly against European minnows Estonia on June 23 in Montevideo.
The Copa runs from July 1 to July 24 in Argentina.
