RIO DE JANEIRO, May 7 (Xinhua) -- A spectacular second-half strike from Lautaro Diaz earned Brazil's Cruzeiro a 1-1 away draw with Ecuadorian side Mushuc Runa in the Copa Sudamericana group stage on Wednesday.
Carlos Orejuela capitalized on chaotic defending as he poked home a shot from eight yards, before Diaz sent a brilliant volley from the edge of the 18-yard box past goalkeeper Cassio.
Mushuc Runa now leads Group E with 10 points, one ahead of second-placed Palestino. Cruzeiro is last with just one point from four outings so far.
In Venezuela, Junior Paredes scored twice as Puerto Cabello routed Brazil's Vasco da Gama 4-1. Gerardo Padron and Raudy Guerrero were also on target for the hosts, while Joao Victor struck for the Rio de Janeiro outfit.
In other fixtures on Wednesday, Atletico Grau was held to a goalless home draw by Gremio, Palestino won 2-1 at Union Santa Fe, and Universidad Catolica prevailed 3-1 at Cerro Largo. Enditem
