Dominic Adiyiah of Ghana's blocked the former Liverpool and Barcelona forward's goal-bound header in the final second of extra time at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.

Suarez effectively made a goalkeeper-caliber stop on the line, and as a result, he received a straight red card.

A penalty kick was given to Ghana as well, but Asamoah Gyan's shot from 12 yards hit the crossbar, causing Suarez to lose his mind on the sidelines and forcing a shootout.

Luis Suarez was applauded for his diabolical act as Uruguay advanced to the semifinals following the penalty shootout victory.
