Uruguay were denied an impressive win in Colombia as Yerry Mina's 84th-minute strike earned a 2-2 draw.

After Abel Aguilar put the hosts in front early on goals from Cristian Rodriguez and Luis Suarez looked like keeping Uruguay at the summit of the table until Mina had the final say.

Arturo Vidal's double earned Chile a 2-1 win over Peru.

The Bayern Munich man opened the scoring early on and then got his second in the 85th minute, just nine minutes after Edison Flores had looked like earning Peru a draw.

Enner Valencia's 89th-minute goal gave Ecuador a point in a 2-2 draw against Bolivia.

A first-half brace from Pablo Escobar had put the hosts on course, but Valencia reduced the arrears shortly after the restart and then secured a point late on.
