#CopaAmercia: Paraguay & Uruguay Both Qualify For Quarterfinals Following 1-1 Draw

Oscar Tabarez men have clinched a quarterfinal spot following a 1-1 draw with Paraguay who currently sit top of group B of the Copa America and the Paraguayans could still win the group if Argentina do not pick up maximum points from their final group game. 

Jose Giminez gave Uruguay the lead in the 29 minute when the Atletico Madrid center back nodded in a corner in what was a cagey affair as was expected between two of the most compact and organized teams in South America.  Barrios equalized for Paraguay in the 44 minute as he also powered in a header from a corner. 

The entire second half was a cagey affair as both teams decided against going for the jugular knowing that a draw would see both teams go through to the quarterfinals. 

Argentina have already qualified for the quarterfinals but still have a chance to finish top of the group as they take on.
