Uruguay shrugged off controversy surrounding their opening goal to seal a thrilling 4-2 win over Peru in their World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
The win lifted Copa America holders Uruguay into second place in the South American group, a point behind leaders Chile and one ahead of Argentina, while Ecuador’s win in Quito saw them climb to fourth.
Uruguay took the lead after 15 minutes in controversial fashion, centre-back Sebastian Coates’ goal-bound header saw striker Luis Suarez miss his attempted flick-on and Peru’s Antonio Gonzales tried to block the ball on the goal-line.
The goal was credited to Coates, but should it have stood?
