Edison Cavani came up with the goods for Uruguay on Saturday night as they secured safe progression into the World Cup quarter-finals with a narrow victory over Portugal.
Cavani's brace steered the South Americans through as his second half strike cancelled out Pepe's equaliser for the Portuguese.
Here, Sportsmail has rated the squads and declared the heroes and the villains for these two nations.Tireless defending, he never gave Portugal's attack a moment's peace and got forward with energy too.
Another highly focused and controlled defender who gave Portugal few opportunities. A strong display.
A very good captain at the heart of a very good defence, he led his team superbly and by example.Nearly a chance for Uruguay to rubber stamp their passage to the quarter-finals. Suarez does magnificently to battle down the right before his low cross sees Rodriguez fire wide at full stretch.
