Marcos Delgado scored in second-half injury time to earn Peru's Juan Aurich a 1-1 draw with River Plate in their Copa Libertadores group match on Thursday.

The midfielder ran onto German Pacheco's flicked header before lofting a shot over goalkeeper Julio Chiarini from an acute angle.

Gabriel Mercado had given the Argentine side the lead by driving in from close range after Teofilo Gutierrez's scuffed effort.

The result at the Monumental stadium leaves Juan Aurich second in Group 6 with five points, two points ahead of third-paced River Plate.
