Argentina reach Copa America quarter-finals

Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert had opened the scoring, also from the penalty spot, in the 75th minute.

The stalemate meant that surprise package Ecuador, who earlier beat Chile 2-1, topped the group with seven points from their three matches to Argentina’s five.

Ariel Graziani, who scored in Saturday’s win over Paraguay, set the Ecuadoreans on their way with a goal after 33 minutes.

And although Fernando Vergara equalised just after the break, Jos Gavica promptly netted what ultimately proved to be the winner after 56 minutes.
