Tickets to sports events worldwideThe matchday 2 between Argentina and Paraguay ended with a dramatic draw on Wednesday 19 June 2019 for the Copa America at the Estadio Mineirão in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.  Paraguay had the chance to claim the victory in the 63rd minute but Derlis González failed to convert the penalty because goalkeeper Franco Armani saved it.

The qualification is getting complicated for Argentina struggling in this group.   Colombia already secured their leadership in Group B with full 6 points after defeating Qatar.  Problem is for Argentina having just 1 point and waiting for the last game to see whether  they qualify or not.  In the next game, Colombia will face Paraguay and Argentina will face Qatar.
