Uruguay have set up a quarter-final showdown with France after an Edinson Cavani masterclass earned them a 2-1 win over Portugal at the Fish Stadium in Sochi.
Lucas Toerriera - 7
His set-piece delivery needed some work as Uruguay's threat from set-plays has been deadly so far this tournament. Great defending on the edge of the area.
Matias Vecino - 7
Confident passing from Inter Milan midfielder who was composed while he shielded the advances of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nahitan Nandez - 7.5
Superb one-two play with Martin Caceres down the right hand side, coupled with great defensive work. Didn't quite get into the goal scoring spaces in the final third but was always involved in the build up.
Rodrigo Bentancur - 7
Defended extremely well as a compact unit with Laxalt and Vecino against the impending threat from Bernardo Silva and Ricardo Pereira.
Luis Suarez - 7.5
A supreme cross onto the head of Cavani at the back post sent Uruguay in front, once again with their devastating combination.

Edinson Cavani - 8
A brilliant cross-field ball to Suarez was rewarded with a great cross and an emphatic header that put Uruguay a goal up inside ten minutes. Produced a finishing masterclass for the second goal with a first-time shot which curled into the bottom right corner to put La Celste back on top.
