DOHA - Bruno Fernandes scored twice as Portugal took revenge for their World Cup exit to Uruguay in 2018 with a 2-0 win in the Lusail Stadium.

The midfielder opened the scoring in the 54th minute with a cross that evaded everyone to end in the Uruguay net, while his second was an injury time penalty given for a handball.

The result books Portugal's place in the last 16, while Uruguay will have to beat Ghana and hope that South Korea don't defeat a Portugal side that can now rest players.

After Cristiano Ronaldo chested down for William Carvalho to fire over, Uruguay made their rugged style clear with Rodrigo Bentancur seeing a yellow card for catching Ruben Dias with his studs in just the sixth minute.

Although Diego Godin headed over from a corner for Uruguay, Portugal controlled the ball and camped closer and closer to the Uruguay area as the half progressed.
