Argentina, Chile stumble again

MONTEVIDEO - Argentina and Chile solved nothing in their respective bids for World Cup qualification after the South American heavyweights stumbled again on Tuesday.

Argentina needed a second-half own goal to help it snatch a 1-1 draw against already-eliminated Venezuela in Buenos Aires while Chile crashed to a 1-0 loss against Bolivia in La Paz.

The results left 2014 World Cup finalist Argentina and reigning Copa America champion Chile outside of the automatic qualifying places and sets up a nail-biting final two rounds of matches next month.
