Gremio lost 1-2 to Athletico Paranaense and the hosts were reduced to ten men after Reinaldo was sent off in the final minutes of the game. All this had Luis Suarez outraged and, after the game, he lashed out at the referee, Luiz Flavio de Oliveira. "He's terrible," he was heard saying as he left for the dressing room.

Luis Suarez is happy in Brazil, but the 'Pistolero' was not exactly satisfied after Gremio's last game. The Uruguayan ended up visibly angry about the defeat to Athletico Paranaense and blamed, in part, the referee for the game.

Gremio lost 1-2. In the final minutes, Renato Portaluppi's side saw Reinaldo sent off for violent conduct.

Suarez went straight after the referee of the match, Luiz Flavio de Oliveira, and the rest of the referees. "The level of referees in Brazil is terrible, terrible! Bad, all bad...", he commented to a team-mate on his way back to the dressing room.

The Urguayan striker did not score against Athletico Paranaense, but he did assist, which brings his tally to 13 assists in 44 games for Gremio this season, to which must be added the 21 goals he has scored.
