Jara deserves to be ban-Godin

Edinson Cavani was wound up when the Chile
defender shoved his finger in the striker's backside
and the Uruguayan is incensed by what happened
Diego Godin believes Gonzalo Jara deserves a ban
akin to Luis Suarez's suspension for shoving his
finger into Edinson Cavani 's backside as Chile
eliminated Uruguay from the Copa America on
Wednesday.
Suarez was subject to a nine-game competitive
international match ban following the striker biting
Giorgio Chiellini in last summer's World Cup,
which ruled the Barcelona forward out of this
continental tournament.
The harsh sentence on Suarez was at the forefront
of Uruguay defender Diego Godin's mind when he
slammed Chile defender Jara for the way he wound
up Cavani by pushing his finger into the Paris
Saint-Germain striker's rear end.
Cavani was subsequently sent off for reacting by
lashing out flippantly at Jara and host nation Chile
pushed on to reach the semi-finals with a 1-0
victory.

"More than the verbal provocation that was clearly
there, the unfortunate thing is where he shoves his
finger," Godin told reporters.
"Everyone's seen what happened, there should be
no need for me to spell out what he did. You know
what happened. Edi doesn't hit him with his fist,
it's just a push to his face with his hand.
"And the referee called him out on it. I hope
Conmebol acts the way Fifa acted against Suarez
last year. I do not know if there will be sanctions,
I'm trying to bite my tongue, but hopefully there
will be."
Barcelona star Suarez, meanwhile, praised his
Celeste team-mates and getting a dig in at Chile
for their failure to have ever won the Copa America
while Uruguay have more victories than any other
country.
"Big gratitude to all my colleagues who gave
everything in the Copa did the beautiful shirt
proud," he wrote on Twitter.
"Those who claim Uruguay played badly should
remember we have won 15 Copa America titles.
Some [Chile] should look at their own country who
have no titles..."
Chile will face Peru or Bolivia in the last four, while
Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay battle for
a spot in the final on the other side of the draw.
