BERNE — Peru defender Victor Yotun has been banned for two matches after he was sent off for grabbing the arm of Uruguay striker Luis Suarez during their stormy World Cup qualifier last month, FIFA said Wednesday. Suarez infuriated the Peruvian team, who felt he was overacting, when he collapsed to the ground and began rolling around in apparent in agony after being pushed in the back. As Peru players surrounded the writhing Uruguayan, Yotun grabbed his arm, tried to pull him up and was given a straight red card in the incident just before halftime. Suarez had already won and converted a highly controversial penalty to set Uruguay on their way to 2-1 win. — Reuters
