Uruguay drew 0-0 with Jordan in the second leg of their World Cup intercontinental playoff on Wednesday to reach the 2014 finals 5-0 on aggregate.
Guarding a five-goal advantage from the first leg in Jordan, the Celeste were almost certain of their place in Brazil. The team directed by Oscar Tabarez had several chances to widen the deficit, but a string of missed opportunities kept the score-line blank.
Jordan, meanwhile, played for pride, throwing men behind the ball in an attempt to salvage a result from the clash in Montevideo, and succeeding thanks to some dogged defending across the pitch.
Uruguay therefore complete the 32 teams who will play at the June 12 to July 13 tournament in Brazil. In the only previous tournament held in the country the Celeste were crowned champions, downing the hosts 2-1 in the final of the 1950 competition.
