PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil (Reuters) - Internacional squandered the opportunity to get their Brazilian league campaign off to a winning start on Sunday when they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at home with Sport.

Edenilson scored the first for Inter from the penalty spot after 19 minutes and Rodrigo Lindoso doubled their lead a minute before halftime when he headed home from a corner.
