Marcelo (5): as Daniel Alves, the Spaniard remained fairly quiet offensively tonight. A lackluster performance on arrival, even though he tried to press the accelerator late in the game.

Paulinho (6.5): to the original purpose of Fred, he did appreciate the quality of passes in midfield. It was he who, in the head, has the qualification to the Selecao late in the game.

URUGUAY:

Fernando Muslera (5): unhappy about the purpose of Fred, where he had previously won his duel against Neymar, he remained focused then. But it is too short on the winning goal Paulinho.

.

Diego Godin (6.5): very strong in the tackle and often well placed. A very good game.

Diego Lugano (5.5): strong overall, even though lack of speed on the order of Fred by being deposited by a few meters Neymar .

Martin Caceres (5.5): image Pereira on the right, Turin has blocked the left lane. But he was defeated in a duel by Paulinho late in the game.

Alvaro Gonzalez (5): Uruguayan not the most prominent, but it has made efforts in midfield. Replaced in the 83rd minute by Walter Gargano (not rated).
