Luis Suarez left inconsolable in emotional response to Uruguay World Cup exit

Luis Suarez was in tears as Uruguay crashed out of the World Cup despite beating Ghana on Friday evening.

The Sky Blue were in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages as soon as they took the lead against Ghana, with Portugal beating South Korea in the other group game at that point. Giorgian de Arrascaeta's brace saw Uruguay fly into a two-goal advantage at half-time, and they were cruising into the last 16.

However, South Korea mounted a remarkable comeback to turn the game on its head, with Kim Young-gwon and Hwang Hee-chan both scoring to put them into second place in the group on goals scored. The Wolves forward netted in the 92nd minute, meaning Uruguay had little time to score another to book their place in the knockout rounds.
