Adorable video of Uruguayan schoolchildren celebrating last-minute goal goes viral

An adorable moment of Uruguayan schoolchildren celebrating their football team’s last-minute goal in its opening World Cup match has gone viral.

Uruguay scored in the 89th minute of Friday's match, going on to defeat Egypt 1-0.

Students at Colegio del Sur in Montevideo, Uruguay, watched in breathless anticipation, before screaming and running rampant through a courtyard at the game's only goal.

The video was tweeted out by a soccer fan site -- and quickly racked up more than 7,000 retweets as of Saturday afternoon.
