A turmoil unraveled during the opening match of the Olympic football tournament between Argentina and Morocco, resulting in a chaotic 2-1 defeat for Argentina following a VAR review.
The game saw a fan invasion and a suspended play after the score was tied at 2-2. Argentina's Cristian Medina had initially equalized deep in the stoppage time, but the goal was disallowed after a two-hour delay.
Order was later restored, and the teams completed the match in an empty stadium. Despite the disruptions, Morocco took the lead through Soufiane Rahimi's double strike before Giuliano Simeone pulled one back for Argentina in the 68th minute.
