Miguel Borja scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Colombia came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw with Argentina in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.
Colombia substitute Borja produced a bullet header in the 94th minute to pinch a share of the spoils after Argentina had raced to a two-goal lead inside the opening eight minutes on Tuesday.
Goals from Cristian Romero and Leandro Paredes appeared to have Lionel Messi’s Argentina cruising to victory, but Colombia pulled one back early in the second half via Luis Muriel’s penalty.
Borja, who was one of three half-time substitutes for Colombia, produced the decisive late intervention, moving his side to eight points from six games in qualifying.
