Olympic Argentina lost to Morocco after injury time chaos

Cristian Medina’s goal in the 106th minute was denied by VAR, causing Olympic Argentina to suffer a bitter 1-2 defeat to Morocco in the opening match of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“It’s truly unbelievable,” Lionel Messi wrote on social networks after witnessing the Argentine Olympic team being defeated by the Moroccan Olympic Games on the opening day of the 2024 Paris Olympics, in the match taking place on the evening of July 24 at Stade Geoffroy.

Argentina did not start well against Morocco when they let their opponent lead 2-0. Coach Javier Mascherano’s students then played hard in the second half of the second half and scored two equalizers thanks to Giuliano Simeone and Cristian Medina. Notably, Cristian Medina’s equalizing goal came in the 16th minute of injury time of the second half (this half had 15 minutes of injury time).
