Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2018: Uruguay progress with 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia

Corner for Saudi Arabia with minute to play but the ball is not the greatest. It is behind the players in the area and the header is sent over. Four minutes added on

Edinson Cavani is denied by Alowais! Cavani bursts through, muscles his marker away and gets his shot on. But the shot is straight at Alowais who makes himself big to save it. Crucial save. Gives Saudi Arabia few more minutes to find an equaliser

Saudi Arabia: Alsahlawi comes off the bench to replace Fahad

Uruguay: Hernandez to replace Carlos Sanchez

Sanchez with a free kick into the area but instead of finding a Uruguay head, it is played behind and it comes to Caceres who acrobatically smacks it into Diego Godin's back... who is offside. Was headed goalward. 

Been dull this second half. And the first half. 15 minutes and hoping that changes. Saudi Arabia change: Kanno comes in to replace Hatan

20 minutes to be played at the Rostov Arena and Uruguay lead. Saudi Arabia getting plenty of time on the ball but not creating clear chances to score. The wait continues...

Uruguay have made plenty of decent runs into the Saudi Arabia box here and looked better when going forward. But thigns remain at 1-0. Nothing yet to bother either keepers

Banned former FIFA president Sepp Blatter attended the World Cup match between Morocco and Portugal in Moscow, TASS news agency quoted the head of the Russian organising committee as saying. "Today I saw (FIFA head Gianni) Infantino and Blatter at the stadium," TASS quoted Alexei Sorokin, head of the Russia-2018 organising committee, as saying. (Reuters)

Second half underway between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. Massive 45 minutes for Saudi Arabia. 

That is half-time in Rostov-on-Don! Uruguay are leading 1-0 against Saudi Arabia which have put on a better performance than they did against Russia in their opening game. Both teams had their chances but that doesn't reflect on the scoreline

Taisir tries to get a ball from Gimenez and has stretched a lot for it. Goes down immediately and is holding his thigh. Looks like he pulled a hamstring. Going off the field now.

Godin is the only defender marking a Saudi Arabia forward. He jumps to clear a cross but has misjudged it. The ball drops on Hattan Bahbir inside the box and has a good chance to equalise. But his shot is over the bar.

GOAL! Luis Suarez has put Uruguay ahead against Saudi Arabia. This is just horror defending from Saudi. They lined up inside the box on an Uruguay corner. The kick drops on the line and the goalkeeper tries to flap it out but misses. Saurez is at the far post and the ball drops on him. He is unmarked and calmly taps it in.

Cavani got a cross but he hit it wide and over the top. Next attack from Uruguay sees them come from the right. Guillermo Varela runs in and just before the ball crosses the goal-line, sends it back to Suarez. He takes a wild kick from a tight angle which goes into the side net. No corner for Uruguay.

Uruguay and Saudi Arabia have been changing possession in the midfield for time being. Saudi Arabia have not troubled Uruguay much and neither have Uruguay taken a real shot at Saudi's goal

A win will qualify Uruguay to the knockouts. Saurez would like that in his 100th appearance for the team

The match kicks-off with Saudi Arabia taking the first ball. Big match in context to the Group A standings. Russia have both their games. Egypt have lost their both. Uruguay have a chance to match Russia today

Uruguay and Saudi Arabia players are out on the field for the National Anthems of the two teams. Uruguay's will be played first followed by Saudi Arabia's.

Luis Suarez will play his 100th game for Uruguay in the World Cup encounter against Saudi Arabia. Suarez is hoping to recover from his lackluster performance against Egypt which Uruguay went on to win 1-0. Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez handed starting places to first-game substitutes Carlos Sanchez and Cristian Rodriguez in midfield.  Still reeling from a 5-0 opening loss to Russia, Saudi Arabia switched goalkeepers to start with Mohammed Alowais but stuck with its forward-leaning lineup and players from the opener.

Uruguay are looking to win their first two matches of a World Cup tournament for the first time since 1954

Uruguay are relying on experience for their second Group A game against Saudi Arabia at the Rostov Arena as they look to qualify for the knockout phase with one game to spare on Wednesday. Cristian Rodriguez, 32, and Carlos Sanchez, 33, have been named in the starting line-up with wingers Giorgian De Arrascaeta, 24, and Nahitan Nandez, 22, sliding to the substitutes' bench. Uruguay will qualify for the last-16 if they beat Saudi Arabia, a result that would also send hosts Russia through.

Uruguay are going in with a 4-4-2 formation while Saudi Arabia have choosen a more defensive formation: 4-5-1. Saudi clearly looking to defend strongly against Saurez and Cavani

Saudi Arabia Playing XI: Alowais, Osama, Ali, Alburayk, Yasser, Salman, Hatan, Otayf, Taiseer, Salem, Fahad

Uruguay Starting XI: Muslera, Gimenez, Godin, Verela, Sanchez, Bentancur, Rodriguez, Suarez, Vecino, Cavani, Caceres

Welcome to our coverage of the Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia World Cup 2018 match from Rostov-on-Don. Uruguay began the tournament with a 1-0 win over Eygpt. Saudi Arabia, however, are coming into this game after 0-5 humiliation at the hands of hosts Russia
