Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Uruguay and Portugal is underway.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 7' What a strike from Edinson Cavani! The score is 1-0.
- 12' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
- 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' Luis Suarez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 32' Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' Uruguay started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
- 42' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 47' It looks like no one’s ball. Uruguay is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Uruguay that had 18 games and scored 18 goals.
- 55' What a strike from Pepe! The score is 1-1.
- 60' Matias Vecino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 62' Goal! Edinson Cavani scores his 70 goal in 502 matches.
- 63' The Uruguay manager makes a substitution. Rodrigo Bentancur departs to be replaced by Cristian Rodriguez.
- 65' It is a substitution in Portugal team. Adrien Silva is replaced by Ricardo Quaresma on 65 minute.
- 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jose Maria Gimenez suffering a number of foals already.
- 74' The whistle greets Goncalo Guedes as he departs to be replaced by Andre Silva.
- 79' Uruguay seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 81' The whistle greets Nahitan Nandez as he departs to be replaced by Carlos Sanchez.
- 85' The supporters are chanting for Manuel Fernandes. He replaces Joao Mario on 85 minute.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Another three points for Uruguay.
