The Milanese gets back in the direction of the goal and shoots but it’s too crushed to worry Rochet.
Triple change for Portugal
Fernando Santos makes a triple change. Felix, Carvalho and Ronaldo leave and are replaced by Nunes, Ramos and Palhinha.
Portugal can’t do it anymore
Like this catastrophic clearance from Silva, Santos’ men can no longer do it in this part and risk an equalizer.
Another opportunity!
What a late game for the Celeste. De Arrascaeta is found in the area by Valverde and attempts a dive but Costa makes a nice save.
Suarez is dangerous!

The meeting unravels
There is no longer a midfielder on this totally unbridled sequence between Portugal and Uruguay.
Leao comes into play
Ruben Neves gives way to former Lille resident Rafael Leao.
The goal finally awarded to Fernandes
FIFA gives, for the moment, the goal to Bruno Fernandes. Cristiano Ronaldo would therefore not have deflected the trajectory of the ball.
La Celeste in reaction
The Portuguese goal pushes the Uruguayans to react. They would be in bad shape in this group H if they were to lose.
Ronaldo ahead
On a good attacking transition from Portugal, Raphael Guerreiro tries to find Ronaldo in the middle but Olivera beats him.

Costa seizes the center
Darwin Nunez is on the right side and tries to find Cavani but the center of the Liverpool player ends up in the arms of the Portuguese goalkeeper.

Ronaldo opens the scoring
On a superb cross from Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo cuts the trajectory and deceives Rochet.
Joao Felix can’t find the frame
The Portuguese are creating a space for themselves, which Bernardo Silva is taking advantage of. He serves Joao Felix who fails to find Rochet’s frame in a rather advantageous position.

Nuno Mendes comes out in tears
Nuno Mendes comes out in tears and will have to give way to Raphael Guerreiro.

Cardboard for Neves

Ronaldo offers himself an opportunity

What an opportunity for Bentancur
Uruguay was very close to opening the scoring. Rodrigo Bentancur pierces the Portuguese defense and finds himself face to face with Diogo Costa but the Portuguese goalkeeper wins his duel.
End of the first half hour
After 30 minutes of play, Uruguay is struggling. Portugal confiscate the ball without, however, creating chances.
77% ball possession for Portugal
The symbol of the Portuguese domination is specified with the figure of the possession. Indeed, the Portuguese have 77% possession of the ball. Despite everything, Sergio Rochet has still not been worried.
La Celeste suffers
Uruguay have not touched the ball for several minutes and have suffered repeated attacks from the Portuguese selection.

Rodrigo Bentancur is warned

The kick-off of this clash of group H will be given in a quarter of an hour now.
The Uruguayan goalkeeper on a good series
Sergio Rochet is once again the holder in the cages of Celeste. And the coach’s choice can be explained by a rather impressive statistic. In his last seven international appearances, Rochet has kept a clean sheet six times.
After the record, confirmation for Ronaldo?
On the occasion of Portugal’s success against Ghana on the first day of Group H of this 2022 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to score in five different Worlds. All eyes will be on the Portuguese legend again tonight.
The situation of group H
In this group H everything is still possible. Indeed, Ghana beat South Korea in a crazy match earlier in the day (3-2) and kicked it all off. Portugal lead with three points, as many as the Black Stars, while Uruguay share last place with the South Koreans with one point.
The line-up of Portugal with the return of Nuno Mendes
A little physically short in the first match, the Parisian side finds its place in the eleven: Diogo Costa – Joao Cancelo, Pepe, Ruben Dias, N.Mendes – Neves, William Carvalho – Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix – Ronaldo ( vs).
The composition of Uruguay without Suarez but with Cavani
Here is the composition of the Celeste for the match against Portugal. Suarez is replaced by Cavani: Rochet – Coates, Godin (c), Gimenez, Olivera – Valverde, Vecino, Betancur, Varela – Cavani, Nunez.
Hello and welcome to all for this live
This is the last match of the second day of the World Cup. And if a slightly tottering Portugal finally succeeded in entering the competition (victory against Ghana), it is not necessarily the case for Uruguay who could not do better than a draw against South Korea , despite his offensive armada (Luis Suarez, Cavani, Nunez, Valverde…). It is therefore already an essential match for the potential first place in the group (which would avoid a probable shock against Brazil in the round of 16). Kick-off at 8 p.m. On BeIN Sports. To follow live commented on the site and the RMC Sport app.
