Former Liverpool and Barcelona star Luis Suarez almost broke down in tears after finding out that South Korea had taken the lead against Portugal, dumping Uruguay out of the World Cup.
Luis Suarez was on the verge of tears after South Korea’s dramatic late winner against Portugal dumped Uruguay out of the World Cup.
On another incredible afternoon of drama in Qatar, Uruguay looked to be heading through to the last-16 after going 2-0 up against Ghana. South Korea needed a miracle after falling 1-0 behind to Portugal – and they found one with a super turnaround.
Defender Kim Young-gwon got the Asian side back on level terms before Hwang Hee-chan found a dramatic late winner in the first minute of stoppage time to send South Korea through.
The goal meant that Uruguay finished third in the group, having seemed certain to progress alongside group winners Portugal. It was all too much for Suarez, who was overcome by emotion on the Uruguay bench.
As cameras panned to the veteran forward on the bench, he struggled to hold back the tears, holding his hands behind his head in disbelief at what had happened.
Uruguay, leading 2-0 for the majority of the game, were unable to find the one goal they needed in stoppage time to make it 3-0 as they crashed out of the World Cup on goal difference.
South Korea’s late winner capped another day of incredible World Cup drama, less than 24 hours after the group involving Germany, Spain, Costa Rica and Spain went right down to the wire.
