Suarez earns point for Gremio a 1-1 away draw with Fortaleza

RIO DE JANEIRO: Luis Suarez scored a late equaliser as Gremio salvaged a 1-1 away draw with Fortaleza in Brazil’s Serie A championship. Veteran playmaker Thiago Galhardo gave Fortaleza the lead from the penalty spot after a Reinaldo hand ball just before halftime. But Gremio looked more cohesive as the game progressed and went close to scoring with a series of chances in the second half. Suarez finally breached the hosts’ defense when he ran onto Reinaldo’s through ball before firing a first-time effort through the legs of goalkeeper Fernando Miguel and into the back of the net.
