Uruguay vs. England: Live Player Ratings

Luis Suarez scored twice as Uruguay beat England 2-1 in Sao Paulo on Thursday.

Edinson Cavani assisted both of his teammate’s goals, but La Celeste got a late scare when Wayne Rooney turned Glen Johnson’s cross into goal for a 75th-minute equaliser.

Suarez, however, was only half-finished at that point and capitalised on a Steven Gerrard error before finishing past Joe Hart with aplomb.

Following are ratings and analysis for both sets of players.

Half-time analysis for Uruguay

Fernando Muslera: Well beaten by Rooney's header but saved by his left-hand post.

Martin Caceres: Not allowing Baines or Welbeck the slightest bit of joy.

Jose Maria Gimenez: The 19-year-old has looked every bit the veteran.

Diego Godin: Made a brave tackle on Welbeck while on a booking.

Alvaro Pereira: Rate of passing has been terrible, but he's been excellent on the defensive side of the ball.

Alvaro Gonzalez: Winning everything in the air and throwing himself into well-timed tackles.

Arevalo Rios: Just one foul so far for the 32-year-old, which is low for him after 45 minutes.

Nicolas Lodeiro: Operating in the hole behind Suarez and Cavani.

Cristian Rodriguez: Keeping Johnson contained while helping launch counter-attacks.

Luis Suarez: Latched onto a Cavani ball and proceeded to open the scoring.
