After being booed off the field following a goal-less first half and looking undone after Peru equalized in the final seconds of regulation time, Argentina is now the team to beat for the last automatic World Cup spot in South America.
Gonzalo Higuain took a pass from Pablo Aimar and scored from an angle in the 48th minute to give Argentina a 1-0 lead.
But Peru, a side with two wins in 17 final-round qualifying matches, stunned the hosts in the 90th minute when Hernan Rengifo neaded home an equalizer in a driving wind and rain.
