Spain played below par and were fortunate to come away with a point as Argentina stretched them them to the limit.
Monchengladbach: Argentina came up with a determined fight back to force a 1-1 draw with Spain in a pool A match of the 11th FIH men's hockey World Cup on Friday night.
Spain, after their 3-1 win against Olympic champions Australia in their opening match, played below par and were trifle fortunate to come away with a point as a luckless Argentina stretched them to the limit.
After a blank first-half, Spain went ahead in the 40th minute when Eduard Tubau scored from a penalty corner, but Argentina, who had lost to New Zealand in their first game, equalised in the 50th through Lucas Cammareri.
Both teams wasted quite a few scoring chances in the first-half with Argentine goalkeeper Juan Manuel Vivaldi giving an eye-catching performance.
