Brazil and Argentina endured more frustration in the World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday with draws against bottom sides Bolivia and Peru respectively.
Brazil were jeered by their own fans in a goalless stalemate at home to bottom-of-the-table Bolivia, who played the last 35 minutes with 10 men.
Argentina drew their fourth successive qualifier when Peru scored with the last kick of the game in Lima to snatch a 1-1 draw.
The two-arch rivals stayed level on 13 points from eight games where they were joined by Chile, who returned from Sunday's 3-0 home defeat by Brazil to thrash Colombia 4-0 in Santiago.
Paraguay, 2-0 winners over Venezuela on Tuesday, lead the 10-team group with 17 points. The top four teams qualify directly for South Africa and the fifth plays off against a team from the CONCACAF region.
Brazil's dismal performance in Rio de Janeiro put the heat back on coach Dunga, who had enjoyed some respite with the win in Chile.
