Luis Suarez said Uruguay “worked incredibly hard” to beat Italy and secure their World Cup progress.
“Uruguay were great and worked incredibly hard. After starting our group badly, we deserved to turn the situation around,” the striker told FIFA.
“We haven’t got a drop of energy left, as it was so hot and the physical strain was remarkable.
“We kept our calm as the clock ticked on and eventually the goal we were waiting for arrived.
