Although not billed as an important encounter, there was still silverware on the line as Uruguay and Wales faced off in the final of the China Cup in Nanning on Monday.
A frantic first-half saw both teams have opportunities on goal, with Luis Suarez missing an open net after rounding opposition goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
However, it would go into the break goalless and it would be the South American outfit who moved up the gears in the second half to find the decisive breakthrough.
Leaving Ashley Williams for dead with an instinctive run, Cavani darted towards the six-yard box before connecting with a pass from the left to sweep the ball into an open goal.
Despite Wales' best efforts, they could not find the necessary equaliser to take the final to extra-time and head coach Ryan Giggs instead suffered his first defeat since taking over in January.
