What seemed like the ticket to the round of 16 turned into a nightmare that made Luis Suárez cry. The striker had already been substituted and from the substitutes’ bench he watched his teammates and paid attention to the final minutes of South Korea – Portugal, which started just before his match.
Hwang Hee-chan’s goal with which the Koreans prevailed against Portugal in the 90th minute was a heavy blow for the Uruguayans, but also for Suárez, impotent on the bench unable to do the only thing Celeste needed to stay in Qatar: the goals.
Hard work: in three matches Uruguay had made just two and they were in this same match. Suárez’s eyes watered, he covered his head with his shirt and showed himself again with lost vision.
He must have been thinking of the World Cup in South Africa when he handed off what would have been a goal for Ghana. Everything comes back to him, and Uruguay also because the goal difference didn’t reach him to continue playing in the World Cup.
