In the last edition, Portugal was eliminated by Uruguay, who had a white shirt in front of them.

A win over Uruguay would confirm Portugal's qualification for the group stage.

Uruguay drew 0-0 with South Korea in the first round of the group stage, so this match could be a life-or-death battle for them.

Both teams had reasons and conviction to win the game, and it was a battle for revenge for the Portuguese crowd.

......

The game begins.

Portugal's 433 lineup versus Uruguay's 352 formation!

Uruguay, dressed in white, took the lead.

The first and last ten minutes of a soccer match are particularly intense and are the most offensive time periods for both teams.

Uruguay passed the ball back to their own backfield, allowing the defender to hold the ball to form a forward pressure situation, trying to force Portugal to return.

Defender Jimenez, wearing the number 2 shirt, got the ball and left his position with the ball.

Pressing near the midfield line, Portugal's Felix cut in at the right time to press.

Perhaps too excited, Jimenez made minor mistakes in power and angle when passing the football to his forward teammates.

Yuqin saw the opportunity, accelerated directly from the midfield line, and instantly controlled the football at his feet.

Less than seven seconds into the game, he scored his first broken ball.

In front of the field, Yuqin faced the besieged Uruguayan players, did not hesitate at all, and passed the football back to the feet of the safe backline players.

Yuqin's opening break was obviously very morale-boosting, and the entire stadium was greeted with enthusiastic cheers.

After passing the football back to the backline, Yuqin, Ronaldo and Felix plunged straight into Uruguay's hinterland like fans often call a trident.

Uruguay definitely takes the defense of the trio very seriously.

Even though football is still under the control of the Portuguese midfielder, Uruguay's backline has surrounded the trio.

Faced with such a situation, Yuqin, who is a right-winger, began to actively look for space in front of the opponent's field and began to pull Uruguay's back line.

Under the pressure of opposing striker Núñez, the football at the feet of Portuguese midfielder Silva is in jeopardy.

Just then, Felix rushed back from the front line and took over the football at Silva's feet.

And the left wing where he is located has been pulled out of obvious gaps by several people.

Felix saw the opportunity to pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to the left wing, before the opponent came to press.

Cristiano Ronaldo started straight into the open area on the left in an attempt to break through the opposing midfield defense with the ball.

Unfortunately, due to the concentration of Uruguayan players defending him, the football was directly kicked off the field.

Portugal left-back Mendes stepped forward to serve a touchline ball that was raised high just below the halfway line.

Looking for the position of Cristiano Ronaldo, his hand throwing ball can definitely be called a hand thunder.

After finding Ronaldo, who had sunk to the bottom, Mendes threw the football high in front of Ronaldo.

Ronaldo directly predicted a point of the football and used his shoulder to pass the ball to Yuqin in the big penalty area.

As if performing a feeding shooting exercise, the football crossed the top of Yuqin's head and came to his right isolumbar.

Yuqin had already reacted subconsciously and threw his body directly into the air.

The strength of the waist and abdomen core and the whole body gathered and passed through the right foot to the football in the air.

With a "bang", the football wrapped in Yuqin's strong strength fell into the net in response.

Uruguay's goalkeeper Rochette, like Costa at the beginning, did not have time to make defensive moves, and the football had already penetrated into his own goal.

Portugal 1:0 Uruguay!

Just three minutes into the game, left-back Mendes' hand threw thunder combined with Cristiano Ronaldo's sinking cross, and Yuqin directly blasted the Uruguayan goal!

In the face of Yuqin's sudden goal, the fans were boiling.

Hua Guo commentator He Weizheng and Ze Yuan excitedly explained the replay of this wonderful goal.

"We were just discussing whether Yuqin could continue to score in this game, but he broke through the Uruguayan goal in just three minutes."

"We can see that this is a very beautiful volley, and the strength of Yuqin's whole body is given to this football in the air."

"Through the replay, we can see that this goal of Yuqin is from a very dashing, shoulder pass by Ronaldo just now."

Zeyuan took over the topic at the right time.

"Yes, in the picture, Ronaldo pointed the ball directly to Yuqin in the box, and Yuqin, as a striker, his ability to play goal is beyond doubt."

"A nice volley sent the ball into the Uruguayan goal, and even the explosive speed of the ball gave Rochette no time to react."

"As far as I know, when Yuqin played in the Chinese Super League, his goalscoring power was the best in our league, and from this goal, Yuqin's foot strength can be seen."

......

After Yuqin scored the goal, before he could celebrate with a hug with Ronaldo, the rest of the Portuguese team had already rushed up and surrounded the two.

Yuqin's goal can be said to be a dream start for the Portuguese team, and it is no wonder that a group of people cheered.

The celebration ended and the game continued.

Being attacked by Yuqin in such a short time is obviously a huge blow to Uruguay.

But it also piqued their desire to equalise, and as soon as the game began, Uruguay began their own frantic attack.

The midfielders also actively moved in front of the Portuguese team, trying to tear a hole in the Portuguese backline.

Although before the start of the game, Santos had repeatedly stressed that Uruguay was best at defending.

But for their offensive combination, it is not without arrangement.

So although Uruguay played in front of Portugal on the surface, there was no real progress.

In an aggressive attack, Uruguay's possession was once again cut off from midfield by Portugal.

Attacking aggressively meant a weak defence, and towards the end of the first half, the break was clearly Portugal's perfect counter-attacking opportunity.

After the midfield broke the ball, Yuqin and Ronaldo immediately began to insert forward, and the sudden counterattack instantly disrupted the Uruguayan front.

A straight plug in midfield stuffed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle.

Uruguay's defense of Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely a top priority.

The moment Ronaldo got the ball, Uruguay's backline had begun to form a close circle against him.

In the face of this situation, as strong as Ronaldo, there is no 100% guarantee that he can break through with the ball.

But Ronaldo in the rush knew that Yuqin on his right side was also cutting forward, although it was obscured by Uruguay's white uniform.

However, Ronaldo, who was in the crowd, did not hesitate to pass the football to the direction where Yuqin was when the encirclement was closed.

Yu Qin who was running noticed the besieged Ronaldo, but he did not have the slightest intention of stopping to respond.

He knew that with Ronaldo's experience, he would not fail to notice himself who was rushing together, and the two formed an excellent tacit understanding.

The position where Ronaldo passed the ball is exactly the front of the route where Yuqin runs at high speed!
