Four years and two days after falling in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Brazil on the Maracanã field, Uruguay advanced to Russia's quarter-finals 2018, where France l 39; waits, eliminating Portugal with a 2-1 win that sealed with a double Edinson Cavani.
"El Matador", who left the injured field in the 74th minute with the support of Cristiano Ronaldo, reached 45 points with La Celeste in a match where the Portuguese had turned their eyes to Luis Suarez.
Barcelona, which on June 28, 2014 was no longer at the Brazilian World Cup because of the sad case of the bite of the Italian Giorgio Chiellini, served the pbad for Cavani's head at seven minutes and with cunning and a lot of physical waste dragged the marks that bothered the defense of the champions of Europe .
Just Pepe gave Portugal a hope with a superb header to pbad the Raphael Guerreiro side when the game was 56 minutes and ended the unbeatable character of Fernando Muslera's goal, which lasted 365 minutes without conceding a goal.
The balance was again unbalanced by Cavani, this time by Rodrigo Bentacur, who solved with a nice touch of effect that left Rui Patricio without options.
62 minutes pbaded and the advantage seemed an abyss because Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be wrecked in his loneliness. Portugal's slogan before Saturday's game in Sochi was to improve their transitions between half of the court and the attack, and provide more balls to Cristiano Ronaldo, but the disadvantage that he has done was to expose their miseries.
Real Madrid had to paddle, sometimes very far from its natural habitat, and when finally received the ball very close to Muslera increased its impotence to be fenced in a forest of rival legs.
Rui Patricio was the culprit that the advantage was not wider before the break by diverting a free path directly connected by Suarez. And he could be the hero with his agony tours, to capture a whim in the payments of his colleague Muslera.
The match ended with pyrotechnics, theater and pbadion. The chivalrous Cristiano Ronaldo, who received so much applause by helping Cavani on his disturbing road to the bank, lost patience and received the only yellow card of the match.
Until today, Uruguay has played only once in its history against a European team in the knockout phases of the event. 39, a World Cup. It arrived in Rome in 1990, won by 0-2 in Italy and on the bench Oscar Washington Tabarez, the same coach who celebrates twelve years of continuous work.
