The opening match in Group B of the Olympic men's soccer tournament in Paris between Argentina and Morocco certainly stirred up a storm. In extra time, Argentina completed a crucial equalizer in the 16th minute, even though the officially recorded extra time was 15 minutes. At the moment of Argentina's goal, Moroccan fans lost control of their emotions, throwing debris onto the field and even attempting to break into the stadium to disrupt the game. The match had to be stopped early. Although the referee did not officially stop the game, but many media and the audience have decided that the game has come to an end, the audience have left the field.
As the crowd dispersed, the official news came as a surprise: the match between Argentina and Morocco had not yet ended, and the referee had not yet blown the final whistle. At this point, the game had been suspended for two hours, and the time was already 1:00 a.m. Beijing time. The official further announced that Argentina's equalizing goal was ruled invalid by VAR technology. The match resumed and ended after only three minutes. In the end, Argentina fell from a 2-2 situation to 1-2, unexpectedly ending with a loss in their Olympic debut.
This was a jaw-dropping scene! Who would have expected something like this to play out at the Olympics, it's just hilarious!
