Diego Maradona's Argentina suffered a potentially serious blow to their World Cup qualification hopes after a 1-0 defeat against Paraguay in Asuncion.
A 28th-minute strike by Nelson Haedo Valdez saw the Guaranies advance to their fourth World Cup in a row.
However there was further sadness for Argentina in the second half when Juan Sebastian Veron was sent off.
