With the game tied 2-2, the teams went straight to penalty shootouts. Daigo Forlan took the first shot, rather weak, straight at the goalkeeper which put Uruguay in an early hole. Then a miss by Alfonso on the fourth shot of the team gave a lifeline for Uruguay and they were even close to snatching a win before Garcia's shot hit the post. Two save by goalkeeper Doni put lucky Brazilians through to the final with 5-4 shootout win.
