Venezuela conceded a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Bolivia on Friday, missing the chance to climb three points clear of Chile in the race for one of South America's four automatic 2014 World Cup qualifying berths.
.
Venezuela, who are looking to reach the finals for the first time, went in front when midfielder Juan Arango headed home Richard Blanco's flick-on from a Cesar Gonzalez corner in the 58th minute.
.
But substitute Jhasmany Campos headed home an 86th minute corner to salvage a 1-1 for the Bolivians at the Hernando Siles stadium, a result that suited neither side.
.
Venezuela move a point ahead of Chile, who are away to Paraguay later, into fourth place ahead of Tuesday's home clash with sixth-placed Uruguay. Bolivia remain one from bottom of the standings with little chance of reaching next year's finals in Brazil.
.
The top four teams at the end of the qualifiers in October will go through to the Brazil finals. The fifth- placed team will enter a playoff against an Asian qualifier in November for another berth.
Late equalisers are always disheartening. Bolivia would be the happier team at the end of the day....
