The referee blows his whistle and that brings an end to a Egypt's spirited fight-back. They gave it everything and proved that they deserve to be here among the world's best. Uruguay will be grateful to Gimenez who secured the 3 points for them.
Some great pressure from Egypt as they send in a crossinto the Uruguay box but the keeper comes out to punch the ball away. Suarez receives the ball and invites a challenge from Hegazybefore going down in pain. He looks to be playing down the clock and that seems to be it for Egypt.
This isn't a good sign for Egypt as Trezeguet pulls up with a cramp. Egypt might have to play out the remainder of the game with 10 men.
Can Egypt conjure up something special in extra time here or will Uruguay get a second?
Uruguay win a free kick near the corner flag. Sanchez steps up to take it and he floats it into the area. Gimenez rises majestically and connects cleanly to head the ball into the net from just 7 yards out. That should surely seal the victory for Uruguay.
Suarez plays Cavanithrough but the PSG forward is brought down right on the edge of the area. Cavanisteps up to take the free-kick and he connects beautifully, his shot beats the keeper but he is denied by the post this time.
What a brilliant save that was from Elshenawy. Suarez headed the ball towards Cavani who hit it first time on the volley. Elshenawy managed to get his handbehind the ball as he dived to his left and parriedthe ball away. Cavani thought he had scored there, so did the scores of Uruguay supporters.
Shot!Another promising move for Egypt. An Uruguay defender got a block on the initial shot but the ball only fell to the feet of Elneny. Godin was closing down on the midfielder who went for the dink instead of putting his laces through it, but the ball was over-hit and sailed over the crossbar.
Godin came charging forward and nipped the ball off an Egyptian player before continuing his run. The return ball from Sanchez was too heavy and Godincannot stop it from going out for a goal kick. The Uruguay skipper showing some real attacking intent.
Save! Elshenawyquite literally takes the ball off the feet of Suarez who was closing in on goal. It was a brilliant move from Cavani who received the ball with his back towards the goal and took one touch before playing Suarez through on the turn. Suarez who did well to hold off his defender couldn't get the shot off in time as Elshenawycame out quickly and grabbed the ball off Suarez's feet. That's the second chance that has gone begging from the Uruguay forward.
Shot!Elneny puts in a crunching tackle which the referee deems a clean challenge. Egypt quickly launch a counter but the shot is straight towards Muslera who does well to hold on.
