Brazil now haw 16 points from nine games, with Argentina, also on 16 points, sit in third due to inferior goal difference.
Argentina's win was their first since a 3-0 win over Bolivia afrnost a year ago.
In their five matches following that win they were defeated once, by Colombia, and drew four times.
Paraguay top the group after maintaining their form with a 1-0 win in Colombia after Salvador Cabanas's ninth minute goal.
