The Barcelona striker was sitting on the bench for the 1-0 defeat to Venezuela, a result that meant Uruguay were knocked out of the competition just two games into the tournament.
Salomon Rondon scored the only goal of the match, reacting to Alejandro Guerra's incredible 50 yard effort which rebounded off the cross bar after goalkeeper Muslera managed to get the slightest of touches.
With Uruguay trailing, Suarez began to warm up on the sidelines but was overlooked by manager Oscar Tabarez, who brought on Diego Rolan, then Nicolas Lodeiro and finally Matias Corujo.
Suarez was incensed. The former Liverpool player remonstrated with his manager before punching his fist against the perspex glass on the side of the dugout. He then ripped off his bib and threw it to the ground.
I guess he was just gutted that he wasn't able to contribute to the game
