World Cup: Luis Suarez bid an emotional farewell to international football as Uruguay were held to a goalless home draw by Paraguay in their World Cup qualifier here on Friday.

The 37-year-old striker, a cornerstone of Uruguay's national team since 2007 and its all-time leading scorer, was given the captain's armband by manager Marcelo Bielsa for his last match, Xinhua reported.

And the Inter Miami star came close to making his final appearance a memorable one, striking a stunning volley in the 18th minute that ricocheted off the post.
