Skipper scores crucial goal as Uruguay hold Brazil in WC qualifer.
Recife (Brazil): Luis Suarez scored on his return from a worldwide ban for biting as Uruguay fought back from 2-0 down to grab a 2-2 draw with Brazil in a pulsating World Cup qualifying battle here on Friday.
Barcelona star Suarez — playing his first international since infamously chomping on Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup — struck in the 48th minute to complete a remarkable Uruguayan fightback.
The draw left Uruguay in second place in the South American standings, three points behind leaders Ecuador with 10 points from five games.
Brazil moved up to third, level on eight points with Argentina and Paraguay but ahead on goal difference.
