23 June 2011<\/p>\n

Rwanda put up another brave performance but were ultimately beaten 1-0 by Uruguay at the death in their 2011 FIFA Under-17 World Cup Group C game on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It follows the 2-0 defeat by England in their opener earlier in the week and means they have all-but been eliminated from the competition ahead of their final group game against Canada on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Rwanda looked to have held on for a point that would have kept them in the competition, but a goal from Leonardo Pais in the dying seconds of the match put the Uruguayans into the knockout stages.<\/p>\n

The African side had the better of the opening stages and might have been ahead inside five minutes with captain Emery Bayisenge hitting the post with a free-kick, and then hitting another just over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Elbio Alvarez should have put Uruguay in front when he rounded the keeper but missed the target, before Juan San Martin found himself one-on-one with the keeper again but could not finish.<\/p>\n

Uruguay improved in the second period and had a number of chances to win the game, but a mixture of poor finishing and good goalkeeping kept them at bay.<\/p>\n

But deep into injury-time their goalkeeper launched a hopeful ball forward from the back and Pais was on hand to head home while the Rwandan defence stood static.<\/p>\n

A big win for Rwanda against the Canadians would keep their hopes of finishing as one of the best third-place finishers, but that would also rely on results in other groups going their way.<\/p>\n

Burkina Faso and Cote d\u2019Ivoire are in action on Thursday as the Burkinabe look to bounce back from their surprise opening defeat to minnow Panama with a strong showing against one of the pre-tournament favourites, Germany.<\/p>\n

The Ivorians also lost first-up, 2-1 to Australia, and need a victory against Denmark to get their campaign back on track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
