How did Uruguay and Portugal get to the knockouts?

Uruguay

Uruguay have quietly been having quite a good World Cup. The focus in their group was mainly on what a surprise package Russia proved to be, but Uruguay topped the group with maximum points and without conceding a goal.

Portugal

After a spectacular opening draw against Spain – thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat trick – Portugal have gone off the boil a bit. Their victory against Morocco was anything but convincing and their bad-tempered draw against Iran cost them top spot in the group.

Who are the players to watch for Uruguay and Portugal?

While it would be easy to pick Uruguay’s strong attacking force of Suarez and Cavani, the efforts of defender Diego Godin will be vital if they’re to progress. The 32-year-old captain is a brick wall at the back and is a huge part of the reason why Uruguay have yet to concede a goal in this World Cup.

For Portugal, you can’t look past the easy pick, Cristiano Ronaldo, who needs no introduction. The World Cup is the one trophy missing from his cabinet and he’ll do anything to win it for his country.

Who’s the top scorer for each team at the World Cup so far?

Uruguay top scorer is striker Luis Suarez with two goals.

To the surprise of no one Portugal’s top scorer is Cristiano Ronaldo with four goals to his name.
