94'
94'
94'
93'
Recoba goes down - no free kick and Fadiga finds Ndiaye, who finds Baye, whose cross earns a corner..
92'
And a terrific claim from Sylva - he's been superb coming off his line all game
92'
91'
90'
Recoba's there, Silva's there, Forlan's there, Garcia's there...
90'
89'
Sylva charges out to claim from Silva - it's absolutely frantic now
89'
Two questionable penalties now, but they've evened up in this incredible game
88'
88'
87'
87'
Fadiga is booked for time-wasting - and he'll miss Senegal's next game. Good news for England, Argentina or Sweden
86'
Time's running out for Uruguary, but they're giving it a real go here and Senegal are fighting for their lives
85'
Twive Senegal win really important headers to clear. Eventually Forlan has a go from 30 yards - well wide
84'
... and Diouf's offside at the other end. Uruguary release Regueiro and Beye concedes a corner with a very fine tackle
84'
Rodriguez looks for Morales, but an offside flag is up
83'
Recoba curls it in, Sylva's punch is unconvincing, but there's a defender on hand to wallop it away
82'
... but it's a terrible free kick and Uruguay break. Silva wins the corner
82'
81'
Forlan spreads the play really well to Regueiro, who wins a throw.
80'
Sylva charges out of his box as Morales breaks the offside trap again
79'
Reocba tries to pick out Morales, Diop's tackle denies him and a fine tackle by Beye denies them a corner
78'
And at 3-3, Uruguay would surely have been favourites
77'
76'
76'
And Feye replaces Ndour in Senegal's final change
75'
Reguerio charges forward - 40 yards alnong the touchline. Beye's crude block ends his run.
75'
.... but Diouf can relieve that with a counter attack which ends with a poor cross from Diatta
74'
Senegal are warming up a third substitute - they;re under real pressure
72'
Brilliantly worked Uruguay move ends with Daf blocking Recoba's shot. They went 80 yards there with neat passing and movement. Forlan was involved again before Recoba's attempt to finish
71'
69'
A booking for Pape Bouba Diop - it's 4-4 on the yellow cards now
69'
They needed a goal and they got it. A truly exceptional strike - Uruguay have now scored two of the best goals of the World Cup
69'
68'
Twenty minutes since the goal and Uruguay really need another soon as Sylva again comes out of his box quickly. this time, he beats Morales to the ball
67'
Another Senegal substitution - Moussa NDiaye to replace the more attacking Camara
66'
Senegal come forward with Camara. he plays a neat one-two with Bouba Diop but his touch takes him too wide and his cross is easy for Carini
65'
Reguiero beats his man and crosses - but it's too deep for Silva to get a shot in. He puts in back in and it's getting increasingly frantic around the Senegal goal
64'
Recoba has another shot - also blocked, and then the Inter Milan man is adjudged offside
63'
And Senegal do make the change. Beye comes on for Ferdinand Coly. Suprising to see the dominant right back go off
62'
And Senegal are warming up a substitute. Beye will come on soon
61'
60'
Uruguay's huge target man Morales has now threatened Senegal as much as anyone this tournament
59'
Senegal are a bit rattled now and Uruguary have responded very well - they're really going for it
58'
Garcia picks out Reguiero, whose brought down. The free kick is taken quickly and Silva, at the far post, would have had a chance had his touch been better
57'
Diouf is brought down and the referee wants a word with Lembo - strangely his cynical fould doesn't earn a yellow card
56'
Forlan takes. He plays it back to Recoba who lashes one straight into Cisse. They appeal for a penalty as Forlan fires the rebound over.
55'
A real battle between Coly and Reguiero - the defender is penalised.
55'
Another Uruguay corner. Recoba takes, the unmarked Silva charges in and missses, Sylva drops it but gathers at the second attempt
54'
Daf clears strangely by backheeeling across his own box. Well, it worked
53'
52'
Senegal have one, but Diouf takes the entire Uruguay defence on in a 50-yard break to win a corner
51'
Uruguay now have five very attacking players on the pitch - Morales, Silva, Forlan, Recoba and Reguiero
50'
Recoba goes on a solo run but ends up going across the pitch before his shot is blocked
50'
Is a remarkable comeback on now? Senegal have defended well so far but they will be under pressure
49'
Morales is the target man Uruguay are looking for now. Forlan appears to have adopted a slighly deeper role.
48'
48'
Senegal are looking for a fourth and Diouf flings himself in to try and volley home - he makes minimal contact and Carini gathers
46'
Morales was one of two half-time changes there - he and Man United goal machine Diego Forlan came on - and that really was an immediate impact. Abreu and Romero went off
46'
45'
45'
Diouf on the counter-attack again. He turns inside Rodreiguez, goes to beat teh seocnd man and Carini comes out to get a hand to it. Diouf attempts to get the shot in again but is penalised
45'
Two more minutes - and Uruguay will probably be looking forward to the break more
44'
And it's increasingly frantic at the other end. Recoba treads on the ball, Silva has a shot blokced but Senegal withstand the pressure
44'
Coly and Camara combine down the right wing - unusually the move ends in a poor cross from Camara
43'
Silva tried to take the entire defence on but was crowded out before he could get a shot in.
42'
Who would have believed it? Senegal, 3-0 up, are on course not just to qualify but to top the group
41'
Chance for Abreu - he pokes wide after another Silva flick-on
40'
39'
Another booking - Coly for fouling Reguiero
38'
Reguiero in room on the left again... but a poor cross
37'
There was some confusion as to whether that was offside but Bouba Diop looked to have timed his run well and the finish was superb
37'
36'
Recoba puts in a cross / shot which goes across the face of goal and wide - goal kick
36'
With just Diouf up front, Senegal are conceding possession but will be hard to break down
35'
The ball comes to Bouba Diop - Garcia challenges and leaves his foot in there - yellow card
35'
Reguiero, who has taken up a position on the left wing, earns a throw. he then gets a chance to cross and Cisse wins a very important header.
34'
Daf clears into Silva and the striker himself chases it into the box - in the end Coly intercepts and clears
33'
The sub Regueiro puts Coly under pressure near the corner flag, but then fouls the defender to give Senegal some respite
32'
And Recoba has another corner to take. Sylva rose very well again - and he launched an attack with a quick throw
32'
Sorondo makes way and Mario Regueiro, a forward, comes on.
31'
Uruguay look as though they'll make a change already. It's Plan B for them - Plan A has failed abysmally
30'
Fadiga's corner but Henri Camara earns another off Varela
29'
Diouf's break earns a corner - how many men wil they send forward?
28'
Alvaro Recoba was once the world's best paid player - he'll need to show that quality if his side are to stay in the World Cup
27'
2-0 and Uruguay need to score three - and they have to be aware of Senegal's counter-attacking prowess
26'
26'
25'
Recoba takes the corner and Senegal head away but they're being put under real pressure here
25'
Chaos in the Uruguary box - Silve finds Abreu. he's tackled but Varela's there and Cisse makes an important tackle
24'
Another free kick in Recoba range - but they try to worlk it across the box and Senegal get a block in
23'
Uruguay can launch a long throw again - but Senegal's aerial ability helps them to clear
22'
... he goes for the curler and Sylva saves well in his bottom left-hand corner
22'
Recoba must be favourite to take...
21'
They have a free kick, conceded by Ndour 30 yards out
20'
Fadiga took that very calmly and Uruguay need to score twice
20'
19'
18'
Abreu's backheel could send Silva through... but once again his near-namesake Tony Sylva reacts quickly and is off his line to gather
17'
Senegal will be happier with the start. They only need a point and Uruguay have yet to muster a shot, despite earning a couple of corners
16'
And they still haven't... Diouf does well to take on one defender but once again, he feels he has no support and is dispossessed
15'
... and mount a quick counter attack with Fadiga and Diouf. But they've yet to manage a shot
14'
Garcia and Recoba combine down the left and though Coly blocks the cross he concedes a corner, but Senegal's height advantage is evident as they clear...
13'
Diouf is the sole target in attack for Senegal again and the Uruguayan centre backs can out number him, as they do when Fadiga chips the ball through
12'
Senegal think they've earned a corner - instead, Diouf is penalised for being offside
12'
Sylva, who doesn't seem to like staying on his line, charges out to meet a header from Abreu
11'
Another foul and Ndour is the man on the ground. No booking this time though
10'
Fadiga curls it in, two Uruguayans collide and, strangely, they win a free kick
9'
Diouf runs at Rodriguez and earns a corner - chance for the big defenders to come up
9'
Senegal free kick 40 yards out - Fadiga, as ever, will take but Sorondo headed it away
8'
7'
Silva again involved near the Senegal box - a bright start from him
6'
Montero picks out Recoba near the corner flag. The cross is deep and Silva controls it well on his chest and fires a half-volley from an acute angle - but it's too high
5'
And Sylva comes out of his box to head clear - strange but effectrive defending as the Senegalese keeper rose above Silva
5'
Another chance for Recoba to cross - Garcia won the first header but Diatta cleared
4'
3'
Recoba curls it in but it's too high for his team-mates and Daf clears
2'
1'
Henri Camara puts in an early cross which is easy for Carini
Senegal kick off, knowing they could knock out two previous World Cup winners
