Quito (Ecuador), Oct. 22 -- Substitute Dudu struck late as Brazil's Atletico Mineiro salvaged a 1-1 away draw with Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle in the first leg of their Copa Sudamericana semifinal on Tuesday.
Junior Sornoza converted an early penalty for the hosts after Patrick Mercado was brought down by Ruan Tressoldi.
Dudu, who replaced Bernard in the 62nd minute, equalized in stoppage time by tapping home from close range after a slick exchange with Hulk.
"We've got a tough game ahead of us but we'll have the advantage of playing at home and I hope our fans come to support us," Dudu said after the match.
