Paraguay’s Nelson Valdez named MasterCard Man of the Match

A superb strike from Nelson Valdez saw the Paraguay forward named MasterCard Man of the Match following the 2-2 draw against Argentina.

The experienced forward thundered in a right-footed drive from distance on the hour mark in La Serena.

His goal gave Paraguay renewed hope in their opening Group B match after they had conceded twice in the first half.

Sergio Aguero and Lionel Messi (penalty) were on target for a star-studded Argentina side, though the Copa América favourites were unable to cling on to their advantage after the break.

Valdez made it 2-1 in sensational fashion, then substitute Lucas Barrios levelled matters in the closing stages of an enthralling encounter.

The draw means Uruguay sit clear at the top of the table, the reigning champions having beaten Jamaica 1-0 on Saturday.
