Suarez: Uruguay showed rebellion and character

A second-half strike from Luis Suarez saw Uruguay salvage a point in Brazil.

Luis Suarez was thrilled to score in his return to international football and praised Uruguay's fight to come from 2-0 down and secure a draw against Brazil on Friday.

Early goals to Douglas Costa and Renato Augusto had Brazil cruising in Recife but Edinson Cavani struck back for the visitors before Suarez found the equalizer shortly after the halftime break in the World Cup qualifier.

Suarez was playing his first competitive fixture for Uruguay since the 2014 World Cup after he was banned for nine international games for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.
