RIO DE JANEIRO, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Jorge Hurtado scored in the 80th minute as Colombia's Millonarios drew 1-1 at Sao Paulo in the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday.

The Brazilian side took an early lead through Luciano Neves, whose long-range effort flew into the back of the net after slipping through the gloves of goalkeeper Diego Novoa.

The visitors drew level when Hurtado dribbled from the center circle before rifling a 20-yard drive into the bottom-left corner.

Sao Paulo remains top of Group C with nine points, one ahead of second-placed Millonarios.

Elsewhere, Argentina's Deportivo Riestra scored two own goals as Uruguayan side Torque eased to a 4-1 home win in Montevideo.

Ignacio Arce and Jonatan Goitia each turned the ball into their own net inside the first half hour before Salomon Rodriguez made it 3-0 just before the hour. Alexander Diaz pulled a goal back but Eduardo Aguero put the result beyond doubt with an 88th-minute strike.

Earlier in the Copa Sudamericana on Tuesday, Chile's Audax Italiano secured a 2-0 home win over Barracas Central of Argentina.
