Lionel Messi scored a penalty in added time to salvage a draw for ArgentinaLionel Messi converted an added-time penalty as Argentina salvaged a 2-2 draw against their South American rivals Uruguay in a friendly in Tel Aviv. He floated a precise 63rd-minute free kick from which Sergio Aguero headed home to cancel out Edinson Cavani's 4th-minute opener for the home side. And after Luis Suarez put Uruguay back in front from a set piece, Messi's persistence paid off after Martin Caceres had been harshly penalised for handball in the box. Uruguay lost defender Sebastian Coates to an apparent hamstring strain shortly afterwards but they continued to grow into the game with Suarez asserting his presence. Five minutes later Suarez netted to put Uruguay back in front, and despite Argentina's attacks through Dybala and Aguero, Oscar Tabarez's side looked set to hold firm.
