Two-goal Suarez leads Nacional to Uruguayan championship

Nacional striker Luis Suarez scored a brace against Liverpool as they won their 49th Uruguayan championship on Sunday.

The Uruguayan, who was once idolised at Anfield, found the net twice in the championship final, helping to secure a 4-1 win against locals Liverpool, after extra time.

Now 35, Suarez, who scored 82 goals in 133 appearances for the English Liverpool across three and a half seasons, re-joined Nacional after leaving Atletico Madrid in the summer. He has gone on to score six goals in 13 appearances since moving back to his home country.

The triumph was Suarez's 20th career trophy, having already won five La Liga titles, the Champions League and the League Cup in England with Liverpool.
