Argentina scored two game-saving goals in a flurry of five minutes during the second half Friday to salvage a 2-2 draw with South Africa at the Women's World Cup.

Sophia Braun sent the ball soaring into the top right corner of the net in the 74th minute to get Argentina on the board. Romina Nunez tied it with a header in the 79th.

In the 79th minute, Nunez tied the match with a header into the bottom corner of the net, just out of reach of diving South African goalkeeper Kaylin Swart. Argentine fans celebrated loudly in the stands.
South Africa got its first point in Women's World Cup play, but both teams are still searching for their first victory. South Africa has played five matches, while Argentina has played 11 in their respective histories.
Each team could still advance to the knockout stage, though they will still be tied for last place headed into the final Group G matches.
"I told them to play to have fun, to dribble, to play their best game. That's why we're here. I told them to play with that love that characterizes our football," said Argentina coach German Portanova, on what he told the team down 2-0.
"Obviously we are disappointed because we could have taken three points. But we still stand a chance. We're gonna go back hard and work on our game," said South Africa defender Karabo Dhlamini.
Argentina wraps up group play against Sweden in Hamilton. South Africa also concludes its Group G matches as it plays Italy in Wellington. Both matches are Wednesday.
