In the second half period when Uruguay and Paris Saint-Germaine Star, Edinson Cavani scored another goal to make it a 2-1 lead over Portugal, he sustained an injury of the leg and had no choice but to leave the field.
The player had already done his best for his team by scoring the two goals and lifting them to the Quarter Finals Stage so in the 74th minute when he couldn’t continue, he limped off the field with the Portuguese and Real Madrid Star, Cristiano Ronaldo giving him bodily support and assistance. When he had noticed that he couldn’t continue in the game, he signaled to their stand and immediately, they sent in Cristhian Stuani to be his replacement on the field.
Cavani had really performed well as it was just seven minutes into the game that he had a cross from his fellow forward and striker, Barcelona’s Luis Suarez which he made all efforts to get to and then shatter the keeper’s dreams as he plunged the ball into the goal.
After the half-time when Pepe had drawn with Uruguay for Portugal due to a corner kick, Cavani arose once more presenting his magic and this was his third goal of the World Cup Tournament, The first was when they met the host country, Russia in the final group stage game and they gave them a suffering defeat of 3-0.
After his goal, he played for another ten minutes before he was done and was limping in an oblivious pain and he really required assistance to make it off the field. Ronaldo among the closest to him at that time offered his services and aided his opponent all the way to the touchline.
All thanks to a wonderful performance displayed by Cavani as Uruguay moves up to face France on July 6 in the Quarter Finals and it will be that he has to do all he can to ensure that in six days’ time, he should be more than fit and ready to make it to the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium and participate in the game.
