South Africa Rally to Tie Paraguay 2-2

South Africa came from two goals down to draw Paraguay 2-2 in the opening Group B match of the World Cup Sunday in Busan.

A last minute penalty by Quinton Fortune and an earlier own goal by Paraguayan defender Estanislao Struway canceled out Paraguay's lead.

Fortune converted the first penalty of the tournament after Sibusiso Zuma was floored by Paraguayan keeper Ricardo Tavarelli.

Paraguay had taken the lead in the 39th minute when striker Roque Santa Cruz headed home a Francisco Arce free kick.

Arce made it 2-0 at the 55th minute.
