Match Events

24' Unbelievable! Cavani fires his shot into the sky

Suarez does brilliantly to dribble his way through on goal, only to be denied by a smart save by Gallese. The rebound bounces kindly into the path of Cavani, but he volleys an effort over the bar from six yards! He will be kicking himself for missing that.

30' Disallowed! De Arrascaeta scores but the goal is offside first

Nandez's cross in from the right deflects into the path of De Arrascaeta, who hammers home a finish from 12 yards, but the offside flag is raised! Nandez needlessly strayed into an offside position before being picked out in space down the right.

59' OFFSIDE! Cavani’s goal disallowed

Suarez is provider once again as he plays Cavani delightfully through on goal, and the PSG striker produces a wonderful finish, lobbing a curled effort in at the far post! He runs off in celebration, before the linesman raises his flag very, very late!

75' Disallowed! Suarez scores but the goal is offside again

Uruguay will have to be wondering what they need to do to score here! Suarez ghosts in behind his marker to get on the end of a delicious delivery from Caceres bent in behind the defence, turning it in coolly from close range, but again the flag is raised to cut Uruguay's celebration short! It's another really tight decision.

Match Reports

Luis Suarez missed his spot-kick as Uruguay suffered a 5-4 penalty shoot-out defeat to Peru in the Copa America quarter-finals following a 0-0 draw in Salvador.

Edinson Cavani squandered a glorious chance midway through the first half, while Diego Godin was guilty of similar profligacy after the interval as Peru hardly tested their opponents at the other end.

Uruguay, who also had a goal disallowed in the first half, twice fell foul of tight offside decisions after Godin's miss – both Cavani and Suarez denied by the flag and subsequent VAR checks.
