Uruguay bagged their second win of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, beating Saudi Arabia. The result means Group A has already been decided, with La Celeste and hosts Russia qualifying for the next round.
Luis Suarez scored the lone goal in the first half, capitalising on a horrible mistake from goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais.
La Celeste and Russia will battle it out for the top spot in Group A, while Saudi Arabia and Egypt will try to avoid last place in their final outing. Both matches will be played on Monday.
Here are the main takeaways from Wednesday's Group A match.
Cavani is Uruguay's Key Star, Not Suarez
For the second match in a row, Uruguay struggled to get going, as their lack of quality out wide limited the team in possession.
Their best moments came in transition, where La Celeste will hope to do most of their damage against the top teams in the knockout stages. With more space, there should be more opportunities for their wonderful counter-attacks.
Suarez may have bagged the opening goal against Saudi Arabia, but as shared by sportswriter Karl Matchett, it wasn't the hardest chance he ever had to take:
Apart from that easy finish, the Barcelona man got little right, while Edinson Cavani was far more dynamic in transition.

Suarez may have bagged the opening goal against Saudi Arabia, but as shared by sportswriter Karl Matchett, it wasn't the hardest chance he ever had to take:
Apart from that easy finish, the Barcelona man got little right, while Edinson Cavani was far more dynamic in transition.

Uruguay bagged their second win of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, beating Saudi Arabia. The result means Group A has already been decided, with La Celeste and hosts Russia qualifying for the next round.
Luis Suarez scored the lone goal in the first half, capitalising on a horrible mistake from goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais.
La Celeste and Russia will battle it out for the top spot in Group A, while Saudi Arabia and Egypt will try to avoid last place in their final outing. Both matches will be played on Monday.
Here are the main takeaways from Wednesday's Group A match.
Cavani is Uruguay's Key Star, Not Suarez
For the second match in a row, Uruguay struggled to get going, as their lack of quality out wide limited the team in possession.

The final round of World Cup group stage games are about to get underway.
Several teams have already booked spots in the Round of 16, but many more will need results to fall in place in order to move on.
Keep a link to FIFA's tiebreak rules handy, because things are going to get messy.
Here's a look at how all the groups stand heading into Matchday 3.
Group A Standings
Country GP W D L GD Pts Uruguay 3 3 0 0 +5 9 Russia 3 2 0 1 +4 6 Saudi Arabia 3 1 0 2 -5 3 Egypt 3 0 0 3 -4 0
Uruguay and Russia had already qualified to the knockout round when their match began so day three was all about bragging rights.
Despite making Egypt and Saudi Arabia look like Sunday league squads, scoring eight goals against the two opponents, Russia was unable to get anything against the baby blue Uruguayans, who took the game 3-0.
Luis Suarez's side will take on Portugal, and the host nation will take on Spain in the round of 16.

Iran was really, really, really, really, REALLY close to getting through to the Round of 16, and knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo, in their final group-stage game of the tournament.
But their strong efforts weren't enough to break a 1-1 tie that was created when Iran was given a penalty thanks to VAR.
VAR also gave Spain a penalty in their game against Morocco to give them a late tie and send La Roja forward.

Group A Standings
Country GP W D L GD Pts Uruguay 3 3 0 0 +5 9 Russia 3 2 0 1 +4 6 Saudi Arabia 3 1 0 2 -5 3 Egypt 3 0 0 3 -4 0
Uruguay and Russia had already qualified to the knockout round when their match began so day three was all about bragging rights.

Country GP W D L GD Pts Spain 3 1 2 0 +1 5 Portugal 3 1 2 0 +1 5 Iran 3 1 1 1 0 4 Morocco 3 0 2 2 -2 1
Iran was really, really, really, really, REALLY close to getting through to the Round of 16, and knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo, in their final group-stage game of the tournament.
But their strong efforts weren't enough to break a 1-1 tie that was created when Iran was given a penalty thanks to VAR.
VAR also gave Spain a penalty in their game against Morocco to give them a late tie and send La Roja forward.

The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas in Tagalog, Republic of the Philippines in English and República de Filipinas in Spanish), is an island state in Southeast Asia located in the Pacific Ocean; to the north it is separated from Taiwan by the Luzon Strait, to the west it is bathed by the South China Sea, to the southwest by the Sulu Sea towards Borneo, to the south by the Celebes Sea which separates it from the other islands of Indonesia and to the east by Philippine sea. The location near the Pacific Fire Belt and the tropical climate make the Philippines an area frequently hit by earthquakes and typhoons, some of which are very violent, such as Typhoon Yolanda, which killed around 8,000 people in 2013. ; but it is also rich in natural resources and has one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world.
The archipelago comprises 7 641 islands spread across three main geographic regions: Luzon in the north, Visayas in the center and Mindanao in the south. Since 1976 the capital has officially been Manila, in whose metropolitan area of Metro Manila the government resides. With an estimated population of nearly 111 million, the Philippines is the 13th most populous country in the world and an additional eleven million Filipinos live overseas. Various ethnic groups and cultures coexist on the islands of the Philippines, which are considered to be a newly industrialized nation; since their independence, the Philippine economy has been growing continuously. At the beginning of the 21st century, economic reforms were initiated that led the tertiary sector to overtake agriculture as the main economic activity and currently services account for over half of the country's GDP. However, the Philippines still faces many challenges in the infrastructure sector, as well as lacking adequate development of the tourism, education, health care and human development sectors.
In prehistoric times the Negritos of the Philippines were among the first inhabitants of the archipelago, followed by successive waves of peoples who brought their Malay, Indian and Islamic influences, while trade brought Chinese cultural influences.

The Philippines, officially the Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas in Tagalog, Republic of the Philippines in English and República de Filipinas in Spanish), is an island state in Southeast Asia located in the Pacific Ocean; to the north it is separated from Taiwan by the Luzon Strait, to the west it is bathed by the South China Sea, to the southwest by the Sulu Sea towards Borneo, to the south by the Celebes Sea which separates it from the other islands of Indonesia and to the east by Philippine sea. The location near the Pacific Fire Belt and the tropical climate make the Philippines an area frequently hit by earthquakes and typhoons, some of which are very violent, such as Typhoon Yolanda, which killed around 8,000 people in 2013. ; but it is also rich in natural resources and has one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world.
The archipelago comprises 7 641 islands spread across three main geographic regions: Luzon in the north, Visayas in the center and Mindanao in the south. Since 1976 the capital has officially been Manila, in whose metropolitan area of Metro Manila the government resides. With an estimated population of nearly 111 million, the Philippines is the 13th most populous country in the world and an additional eleven million Filipinos live overseas. Various ethnic groups and cultures coexist on the islands of the Philippines, which are considered to be a newly industrialized nation; since their independence, the Philippine economy has been growing continuously. At the beginning of the 21st century, economic reforms were initiated that led the tertiary sector to overtake agriculture as the main economic activity and currently services account for over half of the country's GDP. However, the Philippines still faces many challenges in the infrastructure sector, as well as lacking adequate development of the tourism, education, health care and human development sectors.
In prehistoric times the Negritos of the Philippines were among the first inhabitants of the archipelago, followed by successive waves of peoples who brought their Malay, Indian and Islamic influences, while trade brought Chinese cultural influences.
