Diego Forlan backed that verdict, even claiming that Luis should now be declared a hero. He said, ‘Suarez this time, instead of scoring goals, he saved one. I think he saved the game. We suffered but now we will be among the four best sides in the world. There are no words for that.

‘As for the shootout, we felt we were going to faint with each penalty. My penalty kick? I thought about changing the way of kicking it, but I shot normally. It was necessary to score and I just thought about that.’

Former Uruguay star Gus Poyet, who would go on to manage Brighton and Sunderland in England, added his voice to those backing Suarez. The ex-Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder told BBC Radio Five Live,

I was little bit disappointed with some people talking about cheating. I think that is absolute rubbish. That is taking one for the team. That is making something happen for the rest of their life. That is helping one country of 3.5 million people to get to the semi-final for the first time in so many years.

You are telling me the player had to let the ball go in? Is that football? I think you’re missing something really important here. I think you call it cheating when you try to score a goal with the hand, to take advantage when the referee cannot see that. Everybody saw that. The referee saw that. He gave the red card to the player [Suarez]. The player [Gyan] had the chance to score the penalty and didn’t.
