Australia scores a late penalty try to draw 28-28 with Argentina in the second rugby test, securing a 1-0 series win despite the match level at full time. The decisive try comes with about 10 minutes remaining as Australia seek a fifth consecutive test win and a first series sweep in Argentina.
Australia holds leads in both halves, but Argentina responds through captain Pablo Matera, who scores two tries. The match is level by halftime after Matera’s first score, and Argentina takes the lead for the first time in the 64th minute. In the closing stages, Argentina plays with 13 men and holds on to prevent Australia from winning.
Outlet accounts emphasize different elements of the same result: both describe the late penalty try as the turning point, and all highlight Matera’s role, Argentina’s first-half equaliser, and the late-game pressure. They also note that the series is decided on the first test, which Australia had previously won 27-21.
