81'
Suarez Absent
Luis Suarez has been shut down today when matched up against two tough French defenders, Samuel Umtiti and Raphael Varane. Even Benjamin Pavard has defended the striker when he makes his runs to the sideline. Suarez is visibly upset and frustrated, but know all Uruguay need now is just one goal. One goal would change the end of the game, but it needs to be now rather than later.

Teams need to be separated
Cristian Rodriguez stuck his left arm out to meet Kylian Mbappe's torso. Mbappe goes down and the Uruguayan players are running over Mbappe to voice their displeasure with his reactions. Uruguay surrounds Mbappe on the ground as the French players run to aid their young winger. Both teams are now face to face arguing the challenge from Rodriguez. At least three minutes have gone by with the delay in game. The referee ends up giving out a couple of yellow cards. One to Rodriguez and one to Mbappe, which was questionable.
66'

France now find themselves in complete control. They're not throwing numbers forward and play with the game in front of them so that they won't let Uruguay break early.

15 minutes in...
After a quarter of an hour into the game, we can see that both teams are playing into their typical styles. Uruguay tends to press and play the game with a little bit of pace early on. They're challenging the organization of France. France work with their possession to calm the game down and control the match to find breaks to counter.
