Bolivia equalizes late for 1-1 draw vs. Venezuela

Venezuela let a victory get away on Friday and had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Bolivia in Friday's World Cup qualifier in the thin air of La Paz.

Venezuela took a 1-0 lead through Juan Arango's goal in the 58th minute, but Bolivia's Jhasmany Campos hit the equalizer in the 86th

Despite the disappointment of conceding a late equalizer, the away point boosted Venezuela's chances of qualifying for next year's World Cup in Brazil, and ending its status as the only South American team never to have played in football's main event.
