Uruguay beat Namibia in Lyon to record their first pool win at the Rugby World Cup and deny the African nation a first win in the competition.
Two early tries from Gerswin Mouton and JC Greyling, along with the boot of Tiaan Swanepoel, put Namibia in control at half-time.
Uruguay responded in the second half through tries by Baltazar Amaya, Santiago Arata and Bautista Basso.
Namibia prop Desiderius Sethie was then sent off to end any hope of history.
