Luis Suarez was scoreboard watching like everyone else during Uruguay’s final World Cup group stage match against Ghana.
And what he saw led to the same heartbreaking reaction from him and other fans from his country.
South Korea scored an incredible goal in penalty time to defeat Portugal to send it to the knockout stages … and Uruguay was sent home.
Suarez was caught on camera seeing the goal (see below) and doing what has become known as the surrender cobra gesture with his hands on his head in disbelief.
Truly heartbreaking. And you’ve got to see the reaction from South Korea’s players when the final whistle blew:
