Uruguay vs Portugal Live | World Cup 2018 | Live Score and Commentary

PEEEP! PEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! URUGUAY THROUGH, PORTUGAL ARE OUT!

What a game, what a massive game of football. Uruguay's heroic defense - and Cavani's excellent finishing see them through. Gotta feel for Ronaldo, though. The great man was impressive throughout - but just couldn't do enough!

That's all for me. Anirudh Menon signing out after an excellent night of football. Thank you for reading.

Toodle-ooo!

90'+5' Quaresma wins a corner - but Portugal can't do anything with it - even with Rui Patricio in it.

90'+4' Quaresma gets wiped out on the right flank - and Ronaldo complains vociferously at the ref waving play on! Yellow for the great man! He'll miss it even if they make it through

90'+3' Suarez counters at walking pace and whips in a lovely, lovely ball - that Cristian Rodriguez can only touch out of play. What a chance

90'+2' MY LORD! LAXALT! Guerreiro whipped in another delicious ball that Andre Silva was all set to tap in - but Laxalt throws himself at it and heads it away. What heroic defending. WOOF!

90'+1' Nothing happens

90' FOUR MINUTES ADDED ON says the assistant's board as Ronaldo's screaming shot swerves well wide of Muslera's goal. Can he keep his team in it?

89' There's simply no way through that wall of light blue for the men in white.. this is incredible defending from Uruguay. Laxalt shows more of it by stopping Quaresma in his tracks and winning a foul off of Fernandes.

87' OH! OH! Suarez is almost free on the counter - he feeds it out wide to Stuani; who wins a corner. With Uruguay not committing anyone forward, Portugal see it off easily.

86' Quaresma whips in anothe rintriguing ball into the box; where Andre Silva wins it - but Torreira thumps clear. Manu Fernandes then has a thulp from way out, and it arrows into the top corner; of the bloody stand. He has one more shot like that and I guarantee you Cristiano Ronaldo will slap him dead.

85' Santos throws on Manuel Fernandes for Joao Mario... his first contribution is to slap a shot, a weak one, at Muslera. He'll have that all day, thank you very much.

84' Silva jinks into the area with a lovely, lovely run before playing in Perreira - the fullback steams into the box; but Godin shoulders him off with the power of an ox. Damn, what a defender that man is.

83' OH! MY! OH! MY! Quaresma trivelas a lovely cross into the box where once again the ball misses Ronaldo - and Andre Silva - by centimetres. Silva then plays in Perreira down the right; and his cross into the box is superbly blocked by Torreira.

82' OH! MY! Diego Godin's just skeddadled down the middle of the field - Der Kaiser reincarnate on the field; but Sanchez loses it with a loose touch.

81' They play it short and lose it immediately. Ronaldo races into the box, loses two but runs into the human roadblock that is Diego Godin.

80' Sub for Uruguay as Carlos Sanchez comes on for the excellent Nahitan Nandez. Portugal wait to take the corner..

79' Quaresma swings it in, Godin heads it away. On the other flank, Bernardo Silva and Guerreiro do well to try something different and as Silva ghosts into the area - he's blocked by Torreira.

78' Portugal are bombarding the Portuguese box with crosses, Godin and Jimenez are heading them all out! Ronaldo drops deep and leathers one at goal; but Jimenez gets the entirety of his considerable frame behind it and that's safe. For now.

77' ONCE AGAIN IT WHISTLES PAST RONALDO'S HEAD! INCHES IN IT! Guerreiro then slaps a wasteful shot well, well, over the bar.

76' Quaresma runs at Laxalt, and wins a corner... everybody's in the box. EVERYBODY.

75' Ronaldo runs at Caceras, does a stepover, does two, then loses it. Portugal come back down the other wing - where Ricardo Perreira slips as he sends a cross sailing into Row Z.

74' Cristian Stuani comes on for Cavani; Andre SIlva comes on for the underwhelming Guedes. This is going to be some finish...

72' Ronaldo whips in an interesting ball into the box; but it runs across the face of the box without it touching anyone.

69' Oh, never mind - the ref had whistled for a foul! Bad news for Uruguay here - Edi Cavani's limped off and he's sungalled he needs to be changed!

69' OH! MY! BERNARDO! Quaresma teases one, then two, then, three before swinging in a ball into the box. Portugal work it back and Bernardo chips in a ball that Muslera gets to ahead of Quaresma - he then spills it and Bernardo slaps the rebound well over! OH! MY!

67' OH! MY! Quaresma swings a lovely, lovely, ball into the box - where it misses Ronaldo's head by a matter of centimetre. Oh, so close! The ball pinballs around the area - where Mario tries to dink one into the far post; but there's no one in white there

66' Edinson Cavani plays the most ridiculously brilliant volleyed crossfield out to Suarez, a 70-yard-pearl that Suarez does superbly to keep it in, but Pepe sees him off well. Quaresma screams down the wing and wins a corner off Laxalt

65' Santos is releasing the handbrakes now. Quaresma on for Adrien Silva. This is ON!

64' OH! OH! OH! Perreira plays it around the back for Bernardo Silva ... who's sublime ball into the box is taken away from Ronaldo's toes by the excellent Torreira. What an interception that was.

63' Cristian Rodriguez has come on for Rodrigo Bentancur as Oscar Tabarez looks to keep this lead.

WHAT A COUNTER! WHAT. A. GOAL! A lose Pepe header allows Nandez to run at goal, and three-on-three, he plays it out wide to Cavani. The Sniper leans back and strokes a lovely, lovely, curler into the bottom far corner. WOOF!

62' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAZOOOOOOOOO! CAAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANI!

61' Mario swings it in deep - Fonte wins it, B. Silva heads it back in, and Muslera catches. Normal service resumed for Uruguay.....

60' Portugal come streaming back after Carvalho stops a Nandez run in his tracks... and Guedes wins a corner through a speculative shot. From that, they win another.

59' WOOF! A lovely flick around the corner from Ronaldo allows Mario to maraud into the box down the right - from where his cross finds no-one.

58' Caceras throws one in, Rory-Delap-style, but Patricio catches and launches one forward; where Godin is there to guide it out

57' Oh, Oh. Ronaldo gets smashed into by Caceras but the ref waves play on - Laxalt screams forward on the other flank and he's taken out by a similar looking foul by Ricardo Perreira. The ref gives that one. To state that Ronaldo's unhappy is to make the understatement of the year

The corner's played short and Guerreiro whips in a lovely ball - Ronaldo attracts all the markers in the vicinity and Pepe has a free header six yards out. HE ABSOLUTELY PULVERISED THAT IN WITH HIS NOGGIN'. What a header. Criminal to leave him so free, though

56' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL!! PEPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

55' OH! MY LORD! Silva drifted out wide and whipped a lovely ball into the box, Mario flicked it to Ronaldo; who flicked it to Adrien Silva - who lashes a shot that deflects out for a corner. From which....

54' Guerreiro whips it in, Jimenez smacks it out. The Atleti pairing are having a wonderful night at the back

52' ... from which Raphael Guerreiro stops a Suarez-led counter and lashes an interesting looking shot high over the bar. Much better that, from the left back.

51' Just as I hit enter on that, Guedes goes on a searing run from left-to-right and that leads to a spell of pressure from Portugal that ends with a corner for Portugal...

49' Some excellent hold-up play from Bernardo Silva sees Portugal see out a spell of manic high pressing from Uruguay - no, really, high pressing - and Portugal move forward; where they lose possession once again thanks to a loose Guedes touch. It's hard to see what he's bringing to the side at the moment.

48' OH SUAREZ! Portugal play it around the back - Rui Patricio and Pepe doing it; and Suarez almost steals in.

47' Joao Mario goes down the right and looks to whip one into the near post. Only problem is, Ronaldo's at the far post, and Godin has an easy header out.

46' Uruguay pass it around at the back for a bit before Suarez looks to flick a long ball onto Bentancur - Wimbledon Crazy Gang style - but Fonte does well to read the play and cut in ahead of the Juve lad.

PEEP! WE ARE OFF AGAIN!

No changes for either side. Where's Trivela King, Fernando?

PEEP! PEEP! HALFTIME!

Uruguay look so comfortable here, it's not even funny. Godin, Jimenez, and Muslera are barely breaking into a sweat. Portgual will need to up their game considerably to do something they haven't done since 1966 - come from behind to win a World Cup match

45'+2' OH! OH! The ball's worked it's way around to the other flank where Edi Cavani takes a snapshot - and ripples the side-netting.
