Portugal surprised Uruguay with a 2-0 win in their recent World Cup group stage match, and their second goal was a perfect example of "details make the difference".
As the match entered extra time, Portugal were awarded a valuable 12-yard penalty, and Uruguayan players appealed to the referee to reverse the fatal decision. At this point, players such as Zouo Janslou and Rafael Llao quickly surrounded the penalty area to prevent the Uruguayan players from damaging the turf with their "ultra-technical" approach, which would have affected the quality of the penalty kick. In the end, Bono Fernandes scored twice and sealed the victory. Seemingly insignificant "Portuguese Army" moves, in the World Cup stage, but may sway the victory, Portugal this time can be said to be "winning in the details".
Portugal, currently in Group H, has won all two matches and has secured top spot in the group, advancing to the round of 16. Uruguay, on the other hand, has one point and will face Ghana, who are second in the group, in the final round of the group stage.
