Uruguay striker Luis Suarez was at the centre of another biting storm after appearing to sink his teeth into the shoulder of Italy advocator Giorgio Chiellini during the teams’ decisive World Cup Group D game on Tuesday, Reuters reports.
Suarez and Chiellini clashed in the Italian penalty area 10 minutes from the terminus of the match and the furious Italian pulled open his shirt to show the mark to the referee.
Reuters photographs show what appeared to be bite marks on his shoulder and pictures withal showed Suarez sitting on the ground holding his teeth immediately after the incident.
The Italians were still repining about it when Uruguay captain Diego Godin scored with an 81st-minute header to secure a 1-0 win that sent them into the second round and eliminated Italy.
“It was cockamamy not to send Suarez off,” Chiellini told Rai TV.
“It is pellucid, clear-cut and then there was the conspicuous dive afterwards because he kenned very well that he did something that he shouldn’t have done.”
