Luis Suarez set up Uruguay's goal in the 1-1 draw against Saudi
Arabia, as he made his first appearance for the country since his ban for biting.
The Barcelona forward's strike came off the post before it was diverted into his own net by Hassan Muath Fallatah.
The 27-year-old was initially banned for four months
and nine international matches, for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at
the World Cup.
That was
changed to nine competitive internationals
on appeal.
The ban will end in time for Barca's El Clasico game against Real Madrid on 25 October.
Suarez was available for last month's friendlies
against South Korea and Japan, but Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez opted to
leave him out of squad.
In July, the former Liverpool player was
suspended from all football-related activity
for four months following the incident during the final Group D match in Brazil.
The severity of the punishment was reduced on appeal at
the Court of Arbitration for Sport, allowing the striker to train, play
in friendlies and take part in football-related activities.
