Soccer-Paraguay stun Argentina with late goal in 2-2 draw

SANTIAGO, June 13 (Reuters) - Lucas Barrios scored in the 90th minute to give Paraguay a dramatic 2-2 draw against Argentina in the Copa America on Saturday.

The Argentines looked to be cruising to victory thanks to first-half goals from Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi from the penalty spot.

But striker Nelson Haedo Valdez pulled a goal back for the Paraguayans on the hour with a cracking long-range shot before second-half substitute Barrios earned his side a point with a fierce left-foot drive in the final minute.

Argentina face defending champions Uruguay in their next match on La Serena on Tuesday while Paraguay face Jamaica in Antofagasta on the same day.
