| Kun Aguero |
Substitute Sergio Aguero saves Argentina's blushes in Copa America opener, scored on a soaring volley in the 76th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw against Bolivia. Aguero scored six minutes after coming off the bench, ripping a shot into the far corner.
Having weathered a first-half storm, Bolivia stunned Argentina in the 48th minute when Jhasmani Campos hit a corner low to the near post where Edivaldo Rojas back-heeled it past Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi was marked tightly by the Bolivian defense and had few chances to shine. Carlos Tevez, the other top forward, was also taken out of the match by Bolivia's hustling defense.
Argentina play their next game against Colombia to be held on Wednesday. After that they face Costa Rica for their last group match.
