Look brother… Paris Olympics did not even start properly and got into controversies. Players were seen upset due to the ruckus created by fans. They were seen getting hurt. Situations reached such a point that the match had to be stopped. And then there was a 2 hour long wait for just 3 minutes of the game remaining. All this happened in the match between Argentina and Morocco. Morocco won the match in the end but whatever was seen before that, that drama, that ruckus was no less than a movie. What happened was shameful and also dragged Paris Olympics into controversies.
Morocco defeated Argentina 2-1 in the match. Both the goals for Morocco were scored by Soufian Rahimi. After this, after the first goal from Giovanni Simeoni's boot, Argentina was seen trying hard for the second goal. Finally, in the 16th minute of injury time, their efforts bore fruit. Christian Medina scored the second goal for Argentina. And, after this, the chaos started in the match.
Moroccan fans, enraged by the second goal, were seen throwing bottles and burning firecrackers at the Argentine players. There were still 3 minutes left in injury time. But, seeing the deteriorating situation, it was suspended. However, this suspension was not official.

After 2 hours of hard work, when the security personnel on the field controlled the situation and evacuated the stadium, the remaining 3 minutes of play resumed. However, as soon as he came on the field, the referee disqualified Argentina's second goal due to offside. Then, due to not being able to score any goal in the remaining 3 minutes, Argentina had to face defeat against Morocco.
Argentina's team is playing without Messi in the Paris Olympics. Messi was not a part of the Olympic team. And then he also got injured during the Copa America. But even he could not believe what happened to Argentina in the match against Morocco. He called it unbelievable on his Instagram.
