The hosts in action

Suarez. 1-0 to Uruguay 9th min.

Lovely free kick

[lardy]

Why did that Russian clear the Uruguayans out of the way to let him blast it in?

[Michael Morris]

2 - 0 now.

Seems odd that first one. Gave Suarez a clear view.

Second goal an OG

Red card to Russia.

2nd yellow for Smolnikov - 2 in 9 minutes.

Uruguay are very Italyesque. Solid at the back good in midfield with good firepower up top. It's nice to see South America arrive at the tournament with Colombia doing so well last night as well.

That Lucas Torreira looks like the player Arsenal have been missing for years, everytmg what I thought Gary Medel was gonna be for us.

FT: 3 - 0 to Uruguay.

Cracking atmosphere at this game. Lively match but so many wasteful passes and crosses though from Russia
