Edinson Cavani becomes All Football Man of the Match for Uruguay's 2-1 win over Portugal

Edinson Cavani becomes All Football Man of the Match for Uruguay's 2-1 victory over Portugal.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker has sometimes been regarded as wasteful but today he has definitely proved all doubters wrong.

He scores at either half of the game to send Uruguay to quarter-finals and will face France on July 6th.

Pepe manages to head in an equalizer for Portugal early in the second half, but that does not last long.

While Cavani curls in a beautiful finish to restore the lead after the hour's mark, his first goal is somewhat bizarre as he meets Luis Suarez' accurate cross with his face.

He could not care less though, as Uruguay are into the quarter-finals of World Cup for just the second time in 48 years.

Congratulations to Cavani and Uruguay!
