    45'
    HALF TIME
    It's goalless at the break. Portugal had the majority of the ball but it was Uruguay who had the best chance.
    47'
    SCRAPPY END
    The last few minutes have been really scrappy, lots of tactical fouls and no chances.

    TEARS
    Nuno Mendes comes off injured in floods of tears. Let's hope the injury isn't too serious.

    DOWN
    Nuno Mendes, who was a fitness concern coming into this one, is down and requires treatment. This would be a huge blow for Portugal.

    BLOCKING EVERYTHING
    Uruguay are throwing their body at every Portugal shot, Fernandes is the latest to see a shot blocked.
    35'
    TIGHT AT THE BACK
    You can see why Uruguay keep clean sheet after clean sheet, they are dealing with Portugal's attack with relative ease.
    34'
    CHANCES
    Ronaldo hits an effort which is blocked then seconds later Felix has a chance which is also blocked.

    FANTASTIC SAVE
    Bentancur runs through the Portuguese defence but his effort is saved by Diogo Costa. A huge let off for Portugal, what a chance for Uruguay.
    29'
    SPELL OF POSSESSION
    Uruguay are having their first real spell of possession in Portugal's half.
    27'
    CUTTING EDGE
    Portugal are having lots of the ball in Uruguay's half but haven't been able to cut the South Americans open and create anything clear cut.
    25'
    CHANCE
    Nuno Mendes fires in a ball but it's cleared.
    24'
    PORTUGAL PRESSURE
    Portugal are having all the ball here but just cannot get the final ball right. They seem a tad reluctant to put crosses in but are opting to try play through Uruguay.
    22'
    FAIR PLAY
    Uruguay have a chance to break but rather sportingly put the ball out of play after Bruno Fernandes went down.
    19'
    GOING LONG
    Uruguay look to counter and pump it into the physical Darwin Nunez who brings it down well. That looks to be Uruguay's outball at the moment.
    19'
    AWFUL
    Bruno Fernandes hits a deep corner that evades every player in a Portugal shirt and goes out for a throw in.
    18'
    ANOTHER CORNER
    Portugal line up another corner.
    18'
    WALL
    Ronaldo's free-kick is headed out for a corner.
