Argentina scored twice in the first eight minutes but could not withstand Colombia's second-half pressure as the hosts rallied for a 2-2 draw in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Cristian Romero and Leandro Paredes gave the visitors a two-goal lead with less than 10 minutes on the clock before Colombia's Luis Muriel pulled one back from the penalty spot six minutes into the second half.

Colombia substitute Miguel Borja then grabbed a sensational equaliser with a header deep into stoppage time. The result leaves Argentina in second place behind Brazil in the 10-team South American qualifying group for Qatar 2022.

The top four qualify automatically while the fifth-placed side go into an intercontinental playoff.

Meanwhile, Neymar scored one goal and created the other as Brazil maintained their perfect start to World Cup qualifying with a 2-0 win over Paraguay on Tuesday.

Substitute Lucas Paqueta sealed the win deep into injury time in Asuncion as Brazil opened up a six point lead at the top of South America's single qualifying group after a sixth win out of six.
