The Portuguese national team achieved a very important victory at the World Cup.
The European team defeated Uruguay 2-0 in Group H and secured a place in the tournament quarterfinals.
At the start of the match, Portugal's team controlled the initiative, but Cristiano Ronaldo's side failed to create dangerous opportunities.
Then Uruguayan R. Bentancur came out, who, after confusing several opponents, had a chance to score, but failed to beat goalkeeper D. Costa.
Shortly after the break, the match was briefly stopped due to a fan running onto the field.
In the 51st minute, Portugal launched a fast attack, but J. Felix's shot went wide of the goalpost.
In the 54th minute, the first goal of the match fell when B. Fernandes, trying to pass to C. Ronaldo, redirected the ball into the net - 1:0.
In the 75th minute, Uruguay had the opportunity to equalize, but the shot from the South American team's representative hit the goal frame.
At the very end of the match, a penalty was awarded for a handball in the Uruguay national team's goal, which was converted by B. Fernandes - 2:0.
