Luis Suarez put the icing on the goleada National by 3-0 to annuitantsthe first since his return to the Uruguayan club, but he wasted a penalty that could have increased the advantage at the beginning of the second day of the Torneo Clausura.
At 59 minutes, 14 after jumping onto the field of the Gran Parque Central stadium, the striker took advantage of a cross from Brian Ocampo and scored the third goal for the Tricolor with a powerful header. Immediately, number 9 celebrated with his companions and greeted his daughter Delfina, who celebrates her birthday this Friday.
At the end of the game, when Nacional was winning 3-0 thanks to goals scored by José Luis Rodríguez, Juan Ignacio Ramírez and Suárez, the team led by Pablo Repetto had a penalty in favor of a handball by Fabricio Buschiazzo.
‘El Pistolero’ took the ball and immediately the vast majority of fans took their cell phones to record the moment. However, goalkeeper Lucas Machado, who was playing his first match at Rentistas on this day, became the villain of number 9 by stopping his shot. Later, in the face of a spectacular pirouette by Suárez, the goalkeeper flew in and once again prevented ‘Lucho’ from celebrating.
