'You killed the game' - Bravo blasts handball call in Chile defeat

Claudio Bravo has slammed the referee's decision not to award Chile a late penalty in a 2-1 loss against Uruguay in World Cup qualifying on Thursday.

Luis Suarez opened the scoring for the hosts from the spot before Alexis Sanchez equalised for Chile early in the second-half.

The visitors looked more likely of scoring in the closing stages and were denied a penalty in the dying stages after the ball had struck the hand of Uruguayan defender Sebastian Coates in the box.

VAR seemed to review the incident but no spot-kick was awarded with Coates deemed to have put his hand to his side rather than towards the ball.
