Portugal started well on the ball, enjoying the lion’s share of possession but Uruguay fashioned the best chance. Rodrigo Bentancur worked his way brilliantly through Portugal’s defence but squandering the game’s best chance in the 33rd minute, firing straight at Diogo Costa from a one-on-one situation.
At the other end Bruno worked hard, winning 100 per cent of his tackles, registering a 93 per cent pass accuracy rate and generally stringing play together for his side and with Joao Felix looking...

Doha, Nov 25 (Ians) “I am very happy and proud to be here and to fulfil the dreams of my family,” commented Athletic Bilbao and Ghana striker Inaki Williams after Thursday’s narrow defeat to Portugal.
Although Williams was incredibly unlucky not to save a point for Ghana after robbing the ball from Portugal keeper Diogo Costa, only to slip as he turned to shoot, the striker helped set up Ghana’s second goal, which led to a nail-biting finish.
Not only that, his debut in the World Cup came just 24 hours after his younger brother Nico Williams had come on as a second-half substitute for Spain in their 7-0 win over Costa Rica, reports Xinhua.
The 20-year-old, who also plays for Athletic, didn’t have long to impress, but he had enough time to assist for Carlos Soler to net Spain’s sixth of the game.
That means the Williams brothers have made history,...
