In a dramatic turn of events, Argentina's Cristian Medina scored a last-gasp equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw against Morocco, only for fans to invade the pitch and stop the match on the opening day of Group B men's soccer at the Olympics.

Order was restored in Saint-Etienne, but the match was officially suspended, pending a decision on whether it would be completed. The confusion was exacerbated by spectators booing Argentina over a video controversy involving Enzo Fernandez.
