Well, this was a bit of a reality check for Russia. They will likely face Spain in the last 16, while Uruguay, who have won their first three games at a World Cup for the first time, will probably come up against Portugal. This was a statement win for the South Americans. They were great. Russia, not so much.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Uruguay 3 (90 mins - Edinson Cavani) Russia 0. There's the goal Cavani has been desperate for all afternoon! Akinfeev makes the save to prevent a header Godin finding the net, but Cavani was on hand to bundle home the rebound. Three goals to the good.

Russia have really lacked a final product to their play this afternoon. They have looked dangerous at times, but the last pass or cross has been dreadful. They must improve on that.

AKINFEEV TIPPED AWAY! It appeared that the Russian goalkeeper was going to get caught out with an in-swinging corner kick over his head, but he manages to tip it away.

CAVANI... DEFLECTION! It looked like the Uruguay striker was going to get his goal, there. But he took too long to get the shot away and the effort was deflected behind for a corner.
85'
MUSLERA SAVE! Smolov beat his man at the byline, had time to get his head up and look for teammates in the middle, but in the end the cross is gathered on the dive by Muslera.

Russia have pretty much checked out of this game. They will have to put this performance behind them before the last 16. They have been so careless with some of their play.
82'
CACERES CHANCE! Another opportunity for Uruguay, who have ramped things up in the last few minutes. Caceres was free from a corner kick, but he completely misses his header.
81'
AKINFEEV SAVE! That could have been another for Uruguay. Suarez takes the shot from distance, but the Russian goalkeeper is behind the effort and makes the punching save.

JUST TOO FAR! Suarez was desperate for his strike partner to get a goal there. He could have taken the shot on himself, but sought to set up Cavani, with the pass too strong.
78'
For the first time, some whistles from the home fans towards their own team after a pretty pitiful throw in that gifted the ball straight back to Uruguay. Until now the support has been great.
77'
Torreira looks to have taken a knock. That will be of concern to Tabarez and Uruguay. The Sampdoria midfielder has made a real impact since coming off the bench in the last game.
