The Liverpool forward was once again the
centre of attention as his controversial
performance ensured Uruguay took a step
closer to Brazil 2014
Luis Suarez is at the centre of a new diving
controversy after Uruguay beat Peru 2-1 in a
World Cup qualifier on Friday.
Peru coach Sergio Markarian slammed referee
Patricio Loustau for sending off Victor Yotun
for a clash with Suarez in the first half.
The Uruguay forward fell theatrically to the
ground following the clash with Yotun who was
shown a straight red card.
Marakarian told reporters: "I'll do my best to
make this World Cup referee not go because
I'm not ashamed to say it was totally decisive.
"What Yotun did was silly but I've seen worse,
like elbows or double uncollected simulations
that go unpunished."
Four minutes earlier Suarez earned his side a
penalty - from which he scored - when he went
to ground following a challenge from Christian
Ramos, though, replays showed there was
minimal contact.
Liverpool's striker is currently serving a 10-
match ban for biting Chelsea defender
Branislav Ivanovic.
Peru are now five points behind Uruguay, who
occupy the fifth-place play-off position in the
Conmebol qualifying pool.
