The final whistle blows and Portugal are joyous as they can now afford not to worry about the outcome of their final group game against South Korea. Meanwhile, the Uruguay team looks distraught as the battle to qualify for the Round of 16 now looks immense. The South American side now sit bottom of the group and will require a win to get through but they will also require a favourable goal difference, something they currently lack.

Fernandes comes close again! This time the mercurial midfielder is denied by the post after his low shot zips past the keeper but into the frame of the goal.

Portugal attack and the ball is whipped to the back post for Bruno Fernandes who connects strongly with a volley but it's saved by the Uruguay keeper. That could have been his hattrick right there.

We're now five minutes into the nine allocated minutes of additional time. It would take something truly special for Uruguay to get a result from this position.

Goal! Fernandes buries it low and slow into the net after his trademark hop step run up. That goal secures Portugal's place in the knockout stages.

We're now in added time, can Portugal wrap this up now... Bruno Fernandes to take the penalty.

VAR is reviewing a potential handball in the box from Uruguay centre back Jose Maria Giminez... and it's given! Bruno Fernandes nutmegged the defender whose hand collides with the ball as he fell backwards.

With four minutes to go, Uruguay have the ball on attack... Federico Valverde takes a long shot which rises and rises over the bar. The Real Madrid midfielder has shown he can score from distance but that looked more like an act of desperation.
