LA PAZ (Reuters) - Venezuela conceded a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Bolivia on Friday, missing the chance to climb three points clear of Chile in the race for one of South America's four automatic 2014 World Cup qualifying berths.

Venezuela, who are looking to reach the finals for the first time, went in front when midfielder Juan Arango headed home Richard Blanco's flick-on from a Cesar Gonzalez corner in the 58th minute.
