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.
William Carvalho - 6
Caught out of position as Caceras passed to Cavani, who had acres of space to move in the centre-right channel in a passage of play which led to the opening goal. His passing was quality but mostly sideways.
Joao Mario - 6.5
Began the match with composure, directing attacking play for Portugal on the left. However, he didn't have the strength or power to beat Caceres on the ball.
Bernardo Silva - 5.5
Always a threat but Uruguay's compact defending prevented him from finding any space to whip in crosses or supply passes to his forwards. Couldn't find the an empty net when Muslera went missing after chasing a loose ball.
Goncalo Guedes - 3.5
Uruguay's crowded defending around the box made his job much harder He struggled to find touches on the ball and create any meaningful goalscoring chances.
Cristiano Ronaldo - 5.5
An electric start from the man in form as the match was played at 100 miles an hour. However, Uruguay's well structured defence made it almost impossible for him to steal the show.
