Uruguay must play a two-legged play-off tie with Jordan after finishing outside the automatic qualification places for the World Cup despite edging out Argentina 3-2.

Oscar Tabarez's men finished alongside fourth-placed Ecuador on 25 points in the CONMEBOL table, but it is La Tri who booked their spot at Brazil 2014 by virtue of a better goal difference.

Los Charruas will at least enter their play-off encounter in high spirits following a morale-boosting win over an Argentina side that were missing several key players but were already guaranteed to finish top of the standings.

The hosts twice took the lead through Christian Rodriguez and Luis Suarez's penalty, only to be pulled back on both occasions by former Liverpool forward Maxi Rodriguez, before Edinson Cavani sealed victory just after half-time.
