On from Friday’s 1-0 win over Northern Ireland, Oscar Tabarez’s outfit picked up a 2-0 result thanks to goals from Edinson Cavani and substitute Christian Stuani.
Luis Suarez was again absent and is speculated as likely to only return from knee surgery on a meniscus injury in time for Uruguay’s second group game against England.
“We have great hopes of Suarez playing at the World Cup,” Tabarez commented after the game with Slovenia.
“I wouldn't assure it will be in the first match but nor are we ruling that out.”
