London 2012 Olympics - Great Britain v Uruguay kick-off time

Great Britain v Uruguay takes place tonight as Team GB continue their London 2012 Olympics campaign.

The Group A game takes place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, with Stuart Pearce's side looking to book their place in the quarter-final of the men's tournament.

Team GB, who were held to a draw in their opener with Senegal, recorded their first win of the Olympic Games on Sunday night, beating UAE 3-1 at Wembley.

Team GB v Uruguay kicks off at 19:45 BST and will air live in the UK on BBC One/BBC One HD.

Great Britain only need a draw to progress at the expense of the Uruguayans, but coach Stuart Pearce believes their opponents remain favourites to reach the quarter-finals.

"I think Uruguay are still favourites in our group," he said after Sunday's win.

"It is an instant knockout situation, there is all to play for and that makes it even more exciting."

GB and Senegal both have four points, while Uruguay have three following their shock 2-0 defeat by the physical African side.

Senegal play UAE this evening and Pearce believes they will pick up the result they need to seal their place into the knockout stages of the competition.

"Senegal have been absolutely outstanding and they might think they have, on paper, the easiest game," he added.

"They are looking a really strong team."
