  • 7' The Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani breaks the deadlock on 7 minutes. 1-0!
  • 12' Uruguay is showing some good football. However, Uruguay are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 22' Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portugal that had 125 games and scored 47 goals.

  • 65' Adrien Silva makes way for Ricardo Quaresma at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from Portugal.

  • 74' Fresh legs for Portugal! Andre Silva comes on to replace Goncalo Guedes.
  • 79' Uruguay are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
