Buenos Aires, Feb 25 (IANS): Argentine defender Eduardo Dominguez scored a late penalty to earn hosts Atletico Huracan a 2-2 draw against Venezuela's Minero de Guayana in a Copa Libertadores match at the Tomas Duco stadium here.

The visitors appeared set for victory when Zamir Valoyes slotted from the spot after he was brought down by Patricio Toranzo eight minutes from time Tuesday, reports Xinhua.

But referee Adrian Velez awarded another penalty six minutes later when Daniel Montenegro was fouled by Julio Machado, and Dominguez coolly converted.

Valoyes had given his side an early lead with a low free-kick before Lucas Villarruel's strike drew the Argentine side level minutes later.

In other matches Tuesday, Argentina's Racing Club won 4-1 at home over Paraguay's Club Guarani, Venezuela's Deportivo Tachira held Peru's Sporting Cristal 1-1 and Ecuador's Emelec whitewashed Bolivia's the Strongest 3-0.

The Copa Libertadores is Latin America's top club competition, comprising teams from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
