Barcelona striker Luis Suarez missed in the shootout as Uruguay suffered a Copa America quarter-final exit on Saturday to Peru, losing 5-4 on penalties.
Uruguay had three goals ruled out in a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes.
Former Liverpool forward Suarez spurned the first penalty in the shootout as his shot bounced off the chest of Peru goalkeeper Pedro Gallese, completing a frustrating evening for Uruguay’s all-time top scorer, who also had an effort ruled out for offside.
Every other player converted their spot kicks and Edison Flores sealed unfancied Peru’s place in the last four by blasting past Fernando Muslera.
Luis Suárez is devastated!
