Another instance where Suarez was frustrated by defenders doing their job was in a game against Chile. While marking the Uruguayan in a set piece, Gonzalo Jara got one right in the jaw from Suarez. While Mohammad Ali would be proud of the perfect timing and execution of the punch, poor Jara had a completely different perspective.
The Chilean, to his credit, did not make a meal of the incident and although a few angry words were exchanged, the game went on without further controversy. The Uruguayan, meanwhile, was let off with a warning and received no fine or ban of any kind despite video replays confirming his actions.
