Uruguay regained the lead five minutes later courtesy the well-taken free-kick from Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayans held on to that advantage until the dying moments of the game when defender Martin Caceres was penalized for handball in the box.
Lionel Messi stepped up to slot home the equalizer for Argentina in added time thereby rescuing his team from defeat.
It was his second goal for Argentina in two games since his return to the team after his lengthy ban.
Messi was given a three-month ban after calling out South American (CONMEBOL) officials for their bias towards Brazil during the COPA America tournament hosted by the Brazilians this summer.
