In a thrilling finale, Colombia and Uruguay were forced to share the spoils.
Yerry Mina's late equalizer earned host Colombia a 2-2 draw and a point against Uruguay in a gripping CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying contest Tuesday.
In a thrilling finale in Barranquilla, Uruguay thought it had secured a smash-and-grab victory after Luis Suarez gave the visitor an unlikely lead with 17 minutes remaining with his 47th international goal.
But Colombia huffed and puffed and deservedly restored parity in the 84th minute at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez via Mina, who steered a looping header over Fernando Muslera to open his international account.
