Uruguay Striker Cavani after netting a brace
Oscar Tabarez says Uruguay have set their sights on the World Cup final after an Edinson Cavani brace saw off Portugal in the last 16. Uruguay - dark horses at the showpiece event - advanced to the quarter-finals thanks to Saturday's 2-1 victory against the European champions here.
Cavani, who picked up an injury late in the game, was the hero for Uruguay, scoring in each half to send Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal home. Uruguay will next face France for a spot in the semi-finals and head coach Oscar Tabarez told reporters post-match at Fisht Stadium that his team is planing to go all the way now. "We are here to play all seven matches up until the final," said Tabarez.
