Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay

Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay: Suarez shines upon return

The forward returned to action with the national team following his ban after biting Giorgio Chiellini and it was his volley which bounced off of Hassan Muath Fallatah and in  Luis Suarez played a leading role on his return to international action as Uruguay drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia in a friendly on Friday.  The Barcelona man was initially banned from "all football-related activity" following a bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil back in June.  After that sanction was reduced on appeal it was decreed that Suarez could feature in friendly action, and this clash in Jeddah marked his first appearance for the national team since his altercation with Chiellini in Natal.  Suarez had a crucial hand in Uruguay's goal on Friday, thumping a sublime volley which ricocheted off the woodwork and was diverted into his own net by Hassan Muath Fallatah.
