Uruguay vs. South Korea live: World Cup score, highlights, result ...
Uruguay and South Korea both missed chances to take the lead in their Group H opener as the game remained goalless at the interval.
In their 10th consecutive finals appearance, Hwang Ui-jo spurned a glorious opportunity for South Korea in the 34th minute when he fired over the bar from close range.
And as half-time approached, veteran Uruguay defender Diego Godin, in his fourth World Cup, thumped a header against the base of a post from a corner.
Liverpool's Darwin Nunez also narrowly failed to get on the end of a couple of crosses while Tottenham star Son Hueng-min, bar one curling effort headed away by Mathias Olivera, was a muted presence at the Education City Stadium.
Both these sides have ambitions of launching a knockout-stage bid as they seek to steal the limelight from Portugal, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are bound to draw much of the group attention.

Uruguay vs. South Korea live updates, highlights from 2022 World Cup71st min: Son sets off in pursuit of a long ball forward, but Uruguay keeper Sergio Rochet is out quickly to head it away just outside his area.
69th min: Uruguay hogging possession now. South Korea penned inside their own half, but staying disciplined.
65th min: That's Edinson Cavani on, and Suarez off. Little impact from the starting veteran. Can Cavani do any better?

β FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) November 24, 202263rd min: Sensational long pass from Diego Godin finds Darwin Nunez out on the left. He skins Kim Min-jae but after getting to the byline, takes a touch too many and Kim Young-gwon gets back to take the sting out of his final ball.
60th min: Uruguay are readying Edinson Cavani for action. You'd imagine it will be his fellow 35-year-old Luis Suarez making way.
56th min: While we wait for play to resume, check out this sublime bit of skill from Rodrigo Bentancur - if you're in the UK:
β BBC Sport (@BBCSport) November 24, 202255th min: Son is down getting treatment after taking a sore one on his heel in a challenge from Martin Caceres. The Uruguayan defender gets a yellow card for his trouble.
51st min: Son Heung-min creates space for himself in the Uruguay penalty area, but a brilliant block from Jose Maria Gimenez prevents the South Korean star from getting a shot away. Son's corner is flicked on but Sergio Rochet punches it clear.
48th min: Luis Suarez chases a long ball over the top for Uruguay but the veteran striker is flagged offside. At 35 now, the wily forward probably needs that extra half a second to get ahead of the opposition defenders.
46th min: No changes for either side as the second half gets underway.

43rd min: Uruguay hit the post! Jung Woo-young does well to get to a dangerous cross from Facundo Pellistri just ahead of Luis Suarez and from the corner, veteran defender Diego Godin thumps a header onto the bottom of the left post. Closest Uruguay have come to a goal.

27th min: Chance for Uruguay as Mathias Olivera strides deep into South Korea territory but with Darwin Nunez outside him, he completely overhits the pass with the outside of his left foot. Poor.
25th min: Lovely bit of footwork from Son, who cuts inside Martin Caceres but his curling effort is headed away by Mathias Olivera.
21st min: Another superb ball from Gimenez out to Facundo Pellistri on the right wing and a first-time cross almost reaches Darwin Nunez, but the Liverpool striker can't get a foot on it. Uruguay threatening though.

16th min: A good long ball sets Kim Jin-su away down the left flank for South Korea, but the ball had just gone over the byline before his hanging cross is dealt with by Uruguay keeper Sergio Rochet.
13th min: The pace has slowed after a fairly frenetic opening, both sides trying to play out patiently from the back.
8th min: Na Sang-ho gets to the byline to win a corner for South Korea, but Son, wearing a protective mask after recent facial surgery, doesn't quite connect properly with it and it curls away from everyone.
5th min: Liverpool's Darwin Nunez already looking a threat for Uruguay, and Na Sang-ho pulls him back with a tug of the shirt to prevent the 23-year-old forward escaping.
3rd min: Screams and cheers from the South Korea fans every time the ball finds its way to Son Heung-min. Fair to say they're very happy the Tottenham star has been passed fit to play.
