End of match

  • 100'
    FT: Portugal 2-0 Uruguay! All over in Qatar and Portugal are through to the last 16! B Fernandes made it 1-0 in the 54th minute, Uruguay had chances to level and hit the post before Fernandes made it two after an absolutely farcical penalty decision. Uruguay need to beat Ghana and hope S Korea don't beat Portugal. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 99'
    B Fernandes strikes the post from the edge of the box!
  • 97'
    Portugal have their place assured now in the last 16.
  • 93'
    Goal difference could play a huge part in this group and the Iranian ref and Qatari VAR have just ended their tournaments. Awful by the officials.
Goaaaaal from a penalty!
de Portugal en el 93'
  • 93'
    B Fernandes steps up and scores! He sends the GK the wrong way. Nine added minutes, by the way.
  • 91'
    Penalty to Portugal!! Uruguay are understandably furious as if the arm is going to ground, it shouldn't be a pen. I think the Qatari VAR has got the Iranian ref into trouble there. Poor decision.
  • 91'
    The Uruguay man is going to ground and he has nowhere to put his arm. Not a pen for me.
  • 90'
    The VAR has called the referee over for a possible penalty!

Yellow card

a Portugal
  • 89'
    R Dias is booked for protesting.
  • 89'
    Appeals for a handball by Portugal, but Gimenez was going to ground so it's not a pen.
  • 87'
    Time's running out for Uruguay here.

  • 81'
    It's a Uruguayan siege now! Corner for Uruguay.
  • 79'
    Uruguay go again, Valverde plays a through ball to De Arrascaeta and Costa makes the save!
  • 78'
    Suarez! The ball into the box finds Suarez in the box and he hits the sidenetting!
  • 75'
    Gomez strikes the post! Pellistri gives to Gomez and his effort from the D comes back off Costa's left hand post!
  • 73'
    The goal has been given to B Fernandes as Ronaldo was deemed not to have touched the ball.

    Portugal sub: Neves is replaced by Leao.
  • 66'
    Uruguay are pressing for a much needed equaliser.
  • 63'

    Uruguay double sub: De Arrascaeta and Pellistri on for Godin and Vecino.
  • 57'
    Ronaldo is down after getting caught by Nunez! Nunez clearly fouls him as he puts his leg there as he's about to kick.
Goaaaaaal!
de Portugal en el 54'
  • 54'
    Ronaldo puts Portugal ahead! B Fernandes puts a ball into the box and Ronaldo heads in from close range! The Uruguay right-back plays Ronaldo on so this should count.
  • 52'
    J Felix shoots and the ball strikes the sidenetting!
  • 51'
    An uninvited guest is on the pitch as a rainbow flag drops to the ground. The Iranian ref picks it up.
  • 49'
    Neves seems in some pain here. It's his left calf. I actually think Vecino was lucky not to see yellow.
  • 48'
    Neves is caught late by Vecino, but the Uruguayan avoids the yellow.
  • 48'
    J Felix's pass is deflected behind for a corner.
  • 46'
    Portugal get us going once again!
  • 45'
    HT: Portugal 0-0 Uruguay! Half-time in Qatar and a draw is fair. Portugal were the only team attacking in the first 30 minutes without creating much, but it opened up in the last 15. Bentancur came the closest for Uruguay when his effort was saved while Olivera has had a chance as well. For Portugal, who lost Mendes to injury, Ronaldo has probably come the closest. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+3: Portugal attack down this near side and Guerreiro's cross beats everyone.
  • 45'
    Three extra minutes.

Yellow card

a Uruguay
  • 44'
    Olivera doesn't let B Fernandes take the free-kick and is booked. Very stupid.

Substitution

at Portugal
  • 42'
    Portugal sub: Guerreiro on for Mendes.

Injured

en Portugal
  • 41'
    Mendes is down and his game could be up. The 20 year-old wasn't fully fit for this one and he's pulled something. He's in tears.

Yellow card

a Portugal
  • 38'
    Nunez gives to Varela and Neves cynically brings him down 30 yards from goal. Clear yellow.
  • 37'
    Mendes gives to Fernandes in the middle, his shot is blocked, Cancelo then crosses a ball to Ronaldo at the back stick and Rochet saves!
  • 36'
    Uruguay threaten once again through Betancur, he gives to a teammate and then Bentancur's shot is deflected wide by Nunez.
  • 32'
    Opportunity for Uruguay! Bentancur makes a lovely run down the middle, he gets away from Dias and Carvalho and then sees Costa save his strike!
  • 30'
    Vecino's cross is blocked by Pepe for a throw-in.
  • 29'
    Neves' ball finds an offside B Fernandes at the back stick.
  • 26'
    We've seen little of Uruguay in attack after the opening effort from Olivera.
  • 23'
    B Fernandes is down with some sort of injury after fighting for the ball with Nunez, but he's quickly up.
  • 20'
    Neves sees an effort blocked and Uruguay's counter comes to nothing.
  • 19'
    And another Portuguese corner.
  • 18'
    The wall jumps from Ronaldo'sfree-kick and Vecino deflects it for a corner with his head.
  • 17'

  • 15'
    A ball looking for Ronaldo is cleared away by Godin.
  • 13'
    Things are getting very heated here and Bentancur makes another tackel. This time he goes in late on Neves. Betancur just needs to calm down.

    B Fernandes has a go from distance, but the United man's effort along the ground goes wide.

Yellow card

a Uruguay
  • 6'
    Bentancur goes in late on R Dias and sees yellow. That was naughty and unnecessary.

    A long ball forward is laid off by Ronaldo and Carvalho volleys over!
  • 3'
    Uruguay win the ball back and Olivera hits wide from 25 yards.
