90'+8'

FULL-TIME: SAUDI ARABIA 1-1 URUGUAY

90'+6'

All of the Saudi players are camped out inside their own box now, just hoping to pick up a point. Varela and Rodriguez have both put their efforts off target as they can't find a winner.

90'+3'

Superb stop by Al Owais! The Saudi Arabian goalkeeper saves his side again, as he denies Valverde! It's been a quiet night for the Real Madrid man, but he almost won the game for his side, launching a shot which is finding the bottom right corner. However, Al Owais gets himself across and gets his hand on the ball, tapping it wide.

90'+3'

Their final substitute introduces Al Hejji as Al Brikan makes way.

90'+3'

The next swap seesAl Hamddan on for Al Harbi.

90'+3'

Saudi Arabia make a triple change late on, with Lajami introduced for Abdulhamid in defence.
