Portugal's Bruno Fernandes celebrates his side's second goal on a penalty during the World Cup group H soccer match between Portugal and Uruguay, at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, Monday, Nov. 28, 2022. (AP Photo/Aijaz Rahi)Portugal vs Uruguay, FIFA World Cup 2022 Highlights: Cristiano Ronaldo thought he scored but the goal was eventually credited to Bruno Fernandes in Portugal’s 2-0 win over Uruguay on Monday, a result that secured the team a place in the last 16 of the World Cup. Fernandes curled in a cross from the left that barely went over the head of Ronaldo and bounced into the far corner of the net in the 54th minute to give Portugal a 1-0 lead. Ronaldo wheeled away in celebration, believing he had scored his ninth World Cup goal and second of this year’s tournament. After repeated close-up replays, it was awarded to Fernandes, who added a second goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time after a handball by Jose Maria Gimenez.
In the last match, midfielder Casemiro showed his misfiring strikers how to finish on Monday when he lashed in an unstoppable late shot to give Brazil a 1-0 win over Switzerland that sent them into the World Cup knockout stage with a game to spare. In the earlier match, Ghana defeated South Korea in a thrilling contest which saw the African nation run away with a 3-2 victory. Before that, Cameroon and Serbia played out a 3-3 draw. Cameroon hit first with a Jean-Charles Castelletto goal in the first half that was nullified in added time by Pavlovic and Milinković-Savić. Mitrovic would add another early in the second half before Aboubakar and Choupu-Moting put Cameroon back.

We are into the 9th minute of the official added time. Shouldn't be long now. And that's all she wrote. Portugal complete their 2018 payback against Uruguay. They qualify for the next round. Uruguay have to beat Ghana in the last match day. Can't wait for that!!!
Late late chance for portugal to make it 3 but the goalie is equal to it. And it's Fernandes again who has now hit the post. What a game this guy is having.
POR 2-0 URU
Bruno steps up. There's a little hop and skip and he makes the URU goalkeeper go the other way while calmly placing the ball to the right of the goalie.
POR 2-0 URU
Portugal stringing passes together in front of the Uruguay box. There was a shout for handball by Bruno and the referee is now checking it. And he has given a penalty. No idea where else the defender was supposed to put his hand while tackling but the new rules are more often than not confusing. Portugal players are now protecting the penalty spot so that the Uruguay players don't damage it too much.
POR 1-0 URU
Uruguay try to keep mthe ball and build. Get a free kick for a foul on Pellistri. Short free kick. And Valverde gets the ball a few yards out of the penalty box. Shoots and that's gone well over the bar.

Triple Portugal changes as Matheus Nunes, Goncalo Ramos and Joao Palhinha replaces Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wiliam Carvalho.

Again!!! How has that not gone in. The free kick was whipped in, falls kindly to Suarez. The gaol was gaping partially but he shoots in the side netting. Uruguay are threatening to break down the door.
Another swift run from Uruguay as Costa has to come out and parry a cross which evades an onrushing URU attacker.
POR 1-0 URU
What an effort from Gomez!!!! Pellistri with the lay off. He has been bright and positive. Gomez hits the ball first time. Beats the keeper but finds the psot. Portugal can breathe again.

Uruguay are creating chances without the finish. You have to wonder how long Luis Suarez will be kept on the bench. As another move dissipates, we may see him very soon.

Peep peep. Portugal gets us underway for the 2nd half. Let's hope we have something to cheer about in this half.
POR 0-0 URU
And that's the peep peep from the referee and a rather toothless first half ends. That's thev 17th match this tournament to end on a 0-0 draw at half time. Hopefully that changes in the second half.
POR 0-0 URU
Olivera is booked for blocking a free kick off Bruno. No reason and point of doing that and now he has to be careful for the rest of the match. Pretty pointless booking.
