  Football | Four sent off as Mexico reach Copa final
Garcia Aspe, recalled to the Mexico side by new coach Javier Aguirre after a two-year absence, scored the winner from the spot in the 67th minute.
Garcia Aspe's red card precipitated a violent end to a tetchy match which had seen a second-string Uruguayan team bait their more skilful opponents for the duration.
But Garcia Aspe saved his blushes with a rocket of a penalty into the top right corner two minutes later after a push on Antonio de Nigris.
