Uruguay 2-2 Japan: Luis Suarez on target as Uruguay stay alive

Uruguay kept their Copa America hopes alive by coming from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 against Japan.

VAR came to Uruguay's rescue after Koji Miyoshi put Japan ahead 25 minutes in, penalising Naomichi Ueda for a trip on Edinson Cavani as Luis Suarez levelled things up from the spot.

Cavani was denied a brilliant long-range strike by the crossbar before Japan retook the lead, Miyoshi converting his second with a close-range rebound shortly before the hour.

But the lead lasted just seven minutes as Uruguay bounced back for the second time through Jose Gimenez's glancing header from a corner.

The result means Uruguay will have to wait until their final group match against Chile to see if they will progress into the knockout stage of the competition.
