Feisty Paraguay refuses to quit against Argentina

By Agence France-Presse in La Serena, Chile | China Daily | Updated: 2015-06-15 07:10

Argentina's dream of a first major title in 22 years was given a reality check on Saturday when Paraguay came from behind to snatch a last-gasp 2-2 draw in a Copa America classic.

English Premier league star Sergio Aguero and captain Lionel Messi looked to have put Argentina on the road to a routine victory in Group B after firing the tournament favorite into a 2-0 first-half lead.

But a long-range strike from Nelson Valdez hauled Paraguay back into the contest before Argentine-born forward Lucas Barrios grabbed a dramatic equalizer in the 90th minute.
