86'

What a chance! Cavani misses one on one.

at Uruguay

80'

Cavani almost deflects one in! Wide.
77'

Uruguay pushing for a second still, but they can't break down this stubborn defence.
74'

Cavani reacts very angrily at not being given a foul as he gets free down the right.. He was clattered there.
67'

Another dangerous free kick for Uruguay, on the right this time.
61'

Another great chance but Sanchez heads over when unmarked!
61'

Close for Cavani who is inches away from getting onto the end of a cross!

at Uruguay

59'

Lucas Torreira has come on for Uruguay. The Sampdoria midfielder is being chased by Arsenal.

57'

Creativity still a problem for both sides, the ball spending a lot of time in the midfield.
51'

Suarez goes low and round the wall, forcing the 'keeper into a decent save.

Free kick for Uruguay in a dangerous position...
46'

And the second half is underway!

44'

Uruguay with some pressure to end the half... Cavani can't get through however.

40'

Taiseer is down with an injury and he is going to have to go off. There is a break in play as he is treated.

38'

Caceres crosses in but it's blocked. Cavani was lurking.
32'

The Saudis are still on top of this, but can't seem to break down the defence. Uruguay have scored twice in this tournament so far and they have both come from set pieces.
26'

Hatan almost replies for Saudi Arabia, stinging the palms of Muslera with a long range effort.
25'

Almost two as Cavani turns his defender, but his shot is blocked.

Goaaaaaal!

de Uruguay en el 23'

23'

GOAL! Suarez scores! A corner is missed by the goalkeeper and falls to a poorly-marked Suarez to tap home.

21'

The delivery is poor and the 'keeper gathers.
20'

Cavani's cross is deflected out for a corner after a slick move from Uruguay.
19'

Turning into a cagey affair with neither side really stamping their authority on the game.
15'

Suarez furious to see Saudi Arabia awarded a goal kick after his shot is deflected wide. Replays show that is a clear corner.
12'

Still Uruguay struggle to get forward. When they do, Cavani blazes one over the bar.
8'

Saudi Arabia have actually put some pressure on in the last five minutes, earning some free kicks around the Uruguay box. No troubling the 'keeper yet though.
3'

It's a big day for Suarez today, his 100th cap for Uruguay.
2'

First chance unsurprisingly goes to Uruguay and Suarez, but he left footed shot is blocked.

Plenty to play for today, and other teams will be looking on nervously... A point for 'La Celeste' will knock Egypt out following their loss to Russia last night.
