VIDEO : NIGERIA VS URUGUAY 1-2 ALL GOALS HIGHLIGHTS
Uruguay picked up a hugely important three points in Group B of the Confederations Cup as they defeated Nigeria 2-1 at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.
The South Americans started impressively and Diego Lugano, who will miss the next game after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament, soon broke the deadlock.
John Obi Mikel equalised with a fine finish but in the second half Diego Forlan marked his 100th cap for the national team with the winning goal, as Stephen Keshi's men paid the price for failing to test Fernando Muslera for much of the game.
Uruguay began brightly but were unable to take control of the game during the early stages as Nigeria proved a threat on the counterattack.
