An Argentine family of seven, including two children aged 2 and 14, was rescued in the waters off Punta del Este, Uruguay, after their boat capsized. Two people on a jet ski began the assistance, followed by a yacht, and Uruguay's Naval Prefecture completed the operation with no injuries reported.
Uruguayan forward Juan Eduardo Hohberg scored twice in the 1954 Switzerland World Cup semifinal against Hungary but suffered a cardiac arrest right after his second goal, clinically dead for seconds before being revived.
