The teams had met in two previous matches, most recently in Brazil Independence Cup in 1972, the match ending in a 1โ1 draw.
In the seventh minute, Edinson Cavani switched play from right to left with a sweeping pass out to Luis Suรกrez, who delivered a cross which the former crashed home at the back post from six yards out. In the 55th minute, Raphaรซl Guerreiro delivered a cross from a short corner on the left, which Pepe finished with a downward header. Just seven minutes later, Rodrigo Bentancur collected the ball around 30 yards out and slipped a pass out to Cavani on the left side of the penalty area, Cavani then shot a curling right-foot strike into the right corner of the net to reclaim the lead for Uruguay. Bernardo Silva shot off-target with the goal gaping after Fernando Musleraโs mistake, with Cavani seeming to pick up an injury in the scramble.
Pepe, aged 35 years and 124 days, became Portugalโs oldest goal-scorer at a FIFA World Cup. This was the first time Uruguay won their opening four games at a World Cup tournament since 1930, with the fourth game in that run being their 4โ2 victory over Argentina in the final.
