World Cup: Salomon Rondon struck a second-half equaliser as Venezuela salvaged a 1-1 home draw with Argentina in their World Cup qualifier.

Nicolas Otamendi opened the scoring for the reigning world champions by firing home from the edge of the six-yard box after Venezuela goalkeeper Rafael Romo punched away Lionel Messi's free-kick.

Rondon put his side on level terms just after the hour with a powerful header following Yeferson Soteldo's cross from the left flank, reports Xinhua.
