Barcelona star Lionel Messi who has been so superb this season for his club failed to inspire his national team to victory against Peru in a tough battle.
Argentina had chosen to play the match in the red-hot atmosphere of La Bombonera instead of the bigger Estadio Monumental which is home to Boca Junior's arch rivals River Plate.
But Peru sat back and soaked up waves of attacks until Argentina almost broke the deadlock from a corner which was missed by Lionel Messi.
The result however leaves Argentina needing a win in Ecuador to guarantee a play-off against New Zealand.
