Boualem Khoukhi scored 13 minutes from time as Asian champions Qatar hit back from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw with Paraguay at the Copa America on Sunday.
An Oscar Cardozo penalty and a stunning Derlis Gonzalez strike gave the South Americans a 2-0 lead in Rio de Janeiro but goals from Almoez Ali and Khoukhi in the final quarter snatched a share of the Group B spoils for the tournament debutants.
"It's a fair result, we deserved the point we gained," said Qatar's Spanish coach Felix Sanchez.
He praised his players for "keeping the faith" and "showing the desire to go after the game, that was the most positive thing for us."
