Paraguay took advantage of a troubled defensive outing by Argentina to earn a 1-1 draw and continue to lead South American qualifying for the World Cup on Saturday.

An own-goal by Gabriel Heinze in the 11th minute put Argentina in a hole early, and the home side was forced to play a man down for the last hour when striker Carlos Tevez was expelled for a hard foul on Dario Veron.
