Title: Benitez Shock Uruguay With Late Equaliser
Post by: Folami David on Mar 24, 2013, 12:25 AM
Substitute Edgar Benitez struck four minutes from time to snatch a 1-1 draw for struggling Paraguay away to Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
.
Luis Suarez had put the home side ahead four minutes earlier with a fine goal that looked to have breathed new life into 2010 semifinalists Uruguay's campaign to reach Brazil 2014.
.
Benitez took advantage of a mistake in central defence by Uruguay captain Diego Lugano to latch onto the loose ball and shoot past Fernando Muslera in the 86th minute.
.
Suarez shot low inside the far corner from midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro's cross in the 82nd minute as Uruguay looked to end a run of four matches without a victory.
.
Uruguay have 13 points from 10 matches with Paraguay, quarterfinalists in 2010, still rooted to the bottom of the nine-nation South American group with eight.

It was a shocker as well but Uruguay should have helped themeselves by extending their lead by 2 goals for them to be sure of a win
