Events

Match Events

  • 5' With 1 assists to his name this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Uruguay.
  • 7' Edinson Cavani makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Uruguay are in front.
  • 12' Uruguay are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Portugal's shape.
  • 17' It looks like no one’s ball. Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 22' Manuel Fernandes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' It is a cagey affair so far. Uruguay in their trying to find a way past Portugal's compact .
  • 32' It looks surprising Uruguay does not make any changes. William Carvalho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' The travelling Portugal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' Nahitan Nandez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 52' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 62' Edinson Cavani doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 63' A change in the Uruguay ranks — Rodrigo Bentancur exits the field as Cristian Rodriguez enters on 63.
  • 65' Portugal ring the changes. Adrien Silva has done his job and it is now time for Ricardo Quaresma to step up.
  • 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 74' Andre Silva has so much to prove this time. He replaces Goncalo Guedes on 74 minute.
  • 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adrien Silva made 366 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' Another substitution for Uruguay to replace Nahitan Nandez by Carlos Sanchez on 81 minute.
  • 85' The whistle greets Joao Mario as he departs to be replaced by Manuel Fernandes.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Cristiano Ronaldo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
