Portugal 1-0 Uruguay

58 mins: I mean, he’s claiming it. But I think this will be credited to Fernandes.

GOAL! Portugal 1-0 Uruguay (RONALDO 54’)

You know who, and what a lovely goal this is! It’s all down to the Fernandes cross, it’s lifted into the box and towards the back post. Ronaldo is onside, played on by Varela, and guides it into the net! Or does he? Does Ronaldo get a touch on this? He’s certainly claiming it and either way, Portugal lead!

48 mins: An early corner for Portugal as Carvalho leads the press, but it’s taken short and the cross from Neves is early cleared. Neves then goes down under the challenge of Vecino, who escapes the booking.

Olivera then crunches into Felix. Luckily for him, the whistle had already gone. Otherwise, he may have been dealt his second booking.

Back underway! No changes at the break.

HALF TIME: Portugal 0-0 Uruguay

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Gareth Southgate is not expected to make wholesale changes to his side despite England’s strong position in Group B, but Kyle Walker and Jordan Henderson are set to make ther first starts of the World Cup.

The duo are likely to come in for Kieran Trippier and Jude Bellingham, respectively. Elsewhere, Southgate is set to resist the temptation to rest captain Harry Kane ahead of the knockout stages but could make other changes in his attack.

Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford will be hoping to start, as will Phil Foden after he was controversially left on the bench during the goalless draw with the USA. England have no suspension risks as they have not received a single booking so far.
