Argentina 1:1 Bolivia
Colombia 1:0 Costa Rica
Colombia are the early leaders of Group A after labouring to a 1-0 win over Costa Rica in Jujuy.
The host nation, boasting an all-star lineup including Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez, had opening night nerves in La Plata, allowing Bolivia to steal a lead two minutes after half time through Edivaldo Rojas. But Sergio Aguero spared Argentina's blushes with a 76th minute equaliser.
Colombia, who won their only Copa at home in 2001, grabbed three points from Adrian Ramos' strike on the cusp of half-time. Invitees Costa Rica had Randall Brenes red-carded for a reckless knee-high tackle after 27 minutes. Los Cafeteros and Argentina meet in Santa Fe on Wednesday.
