FIFA World Cup 2022: Portugal beats Uruguay 2-0, qualifies for round of 16

The Hindu  

A second half brace from Bruno Fernandes sent Portugal through to the last 16 of the World Cup on Monday to join France and Brazil after a 2-0 win over a lacklustre Uruguay. It was the third time at a World Cup that Portugal had won two successive group stage matches and the previous two times led to streaks into the semifinals.

It finally broke the deadlock two minutes later when Fernandes’ cross floated past Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet, who was rooted to the spot as Cristiano Ronaldo rose to head the ball and initially celebrated the goal as his.
