SAO PAULO, Nov 18 (AP): Uruguayan referee Andres Cunha and video assistant Esteban Ostojich were suspended Wednesday after failing to give a red card to Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi during a World Cup qualifying match against Brazil.
Otamendi hit Brazil forward Raphinha with his elbow in the 35th minute of Tuesday's match in San Juan.
The Brazilian needed five stitches at halftime and still continued to bleed in the second half.
