Cavani, 31, scored either side of Pepe's header to send the South Americans into a quarter-final clash against France.
CRISTIANO RONALDO was hailed as "classy" for helping injured Edinson Cavani off the pitch during Portugal's World Cup last-16 defeat to Uruguay.But the two-goal hero went down holding his leg with just 17 minutes left to play.
As he began limping off the field to be subbed, Portugal skipper Ronaldo put his arm around his rival and let him lean on him for support.
Christhian Stuani came on for the Paris Saint-Germain striker and helped Uruguay hold on to their lead.
Ronaldo, 33, was praised for his gesture, while some cynics suggested he was only doing it to save precious time as Portugal were losing and the clock ticking.
Other Twitter users claimed that footage appeared to show the referee had to ask Ronaldo to aid Cavani as he limped off.
The best moment of World Cup 2018 so far.
