Valencia forward Jonas came on in the second half and scored a late equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw at Osasuna in the Spanish league on Saturday.

Striker Oriol Riera put Osasuna ahead in the 19th minute when he tapped in a rebound that Valencia goalkeeper Vicente Guaita knocked down to his feet.

The hosts controlled the match, with Roberto Torres hitting the upright in the 53rd, until Jonas took a pass from fellow Brazilian substitute Araujo on the run and slotted an angled shot inside the far post in the 82nd.
