There has been much talk as of late regarding the sluggish play of Luis Suarez with Uruguay, but as he has done countless time, the veteran striker again silenced such doubt.

As Uruguay was in dire need of a goal during its 2021 Copa America group stage fixture against Chile, Suarez wound up playing a key role in the side’s game-tying score.

Suarez found himself in a physical duel with former teammate and Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal during a set piece situation.

Still, the Atletico Madrid striker managed to win the mini battle as he helped force an own goal off Vidal.

Uruguay is on its way to a much-needed point from this match.
