Uruguay has made the most of three yellow cards for Namibia to win 36-26 in Lyon and dash the Africans' hopes of a first ever Rugby World Cup win.
Despite playing a fourth game in 18 days, Namibia made a quickfire start with some poor play by Uruguay contributing.
A shellshocked Uruguay, playing a third match in a more comfortable 14 days, got on the board in the 19th after it battered the line and flyhalf Felipe Etcheverry offloaded to fullback Baltazar Amaya to barge over. However, tighthead prop Johan Coetzee was sin-binned in the 48th for collapsing a scrum for a third time and Uruguay exploited the man advantage to pour on two converted tries.
