Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia LIVE World Cup 2018: Luis Suarez scores – latest score, goals and updates from Rostov

It's the second round of games in Group A as Saudi Arabia look to regain a semblance of dignity against Uruguay following their opening game embarrassment. 

Russia thumped Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the opening game of the tournament at the Luzhniki last week and Uruguay, who are considered one of the strongest teams in the group, will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing that shaky defence.

Uruguay will be looking to maintain their 100 per cent record and make sure of a place in the Round of 16 with victory, after a last-minute win over Egypt last time out.

FULL TIME: Uruguay 1 - 0 Saudi Arabia

 

Uruguay go through to the knockout stages alongside Russia, Saudi Arabia are going home, they looked good in the first half but looked tired in the second

 

Clinical from the South American team, they go the job done

17:50

90 min: 4 minutes to go for Saudi Arabia, but they don't look like scoring, there's no intensity or urgency

17:49

90 min: Saudi Arabia get a corner, it's whipped and finds Kanno whose header is tame

17:47

88 min: CHANCE! Laxalt fires a low pass across the area Suarez hits it first time but it's not clean and it spoons wide

17:44

85 min: CHANCE! Cavani had the opportunity to end it there, he broke alone on the counter turns a defender and Al Owais makes a good save

17:42

84 minutes: Saudi Arabia move forward again, but can't break down this Uruguay defence

17:40

81 min: SUBSTITUTION Sanchez off, and Nández on for the final 10 minutes or so

17:36

77 min: A free kick for Uruguay leaves a few people scrambling in the box, Cavani is ruled offside so nothing comes of it

17:34

75 min: Cavani links with Suarez as the latter dinks the ball over the centre backs but it's just too long and is collected by the keeper

17:33

74 min: Lots of possession again in mid-field for Saudia Arabia, but they aren't making use of it

17:29

70 min: More intensity needed by Saudi Arabia, Uruguay are happy to sit back and defend

17:28

69 min: Good keeping form Muslera, the ball came into the box, he leapt high and caught it well 

17:26

65 min: It's not! but the gap left by Sanchez allows Saudi Arabia to break 

 

Deja vu but at the other end, Saudi Arabia's free kick gets defended by Suarez

17:22

63 min: Sanchez wins a free kick out on the right wing, this could be dangerous for Saudi Arabia

17:20

61 min: A quick free kick from Uruguay sees Cavani whip the ball onto the head of Sanchez who can't quite keep it down 

17:18

58 min: SUBSTITUTION double change for Uruguay Rodríguez and Vecino are off and get replaced with Laxalt and Torreira

17:15

56 min: Brilliant stuff again from Godin, using his body to stop Al Muwallad form getting away from him

17:12

53 min: Al Muwallad is offside again, good play from Al-Mogahwi on the left to feed it to him though

17:09

Odds

Uruguay: 1/7

Saudi Arabia: 19/1

Draw: 13/2

Prediction

 

Uruguay 6-0 Saudi Arabia. It may look extreme but Russia were dubbed the worst team in the tournament going into the World Cup - and they scored five. Uruguay, with Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani et al., are considered the dark horses this summer so, maybe, 6-0 might be fairly conservative.
