By Unexpected Drama in Olympic Clash Between Argentina and Morocco
In a stunning turn of events, the Olympic football match between Argentina and Morocco ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw on Wednesday in Saint-Etienne. As the game headed into an extraordinary 15 minutes of added time, Argentina clinched a last-minute equalizer, sparking chaos in the stands at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium, predominantly filled with Moroccan supporters.
The unusually long added time has stirred considerable controversy, as it appeared excessively disproportionate to the actual stoppage time during the match. As the whistle blew and the Moroccan players, dubbed the “Lionceaux de l’Atlas,” retreated to the locker room in despair, the official Olympic site made a startling announcement: the game was not officially over but suspended due to the projectile-throwing incident and a pending VAR check on the Argentine goal.
Reports confirm that a potential offside call is under scrutiny. According to sources like L’Equipe, regardless of whether the goal stands, an additional four to five minutes of gameplay remains, which might resume behind closed doors. Contrarily, some sources suggest the Argentine team could refuse to continue, further adding to the unpredictable nature of this Olympic fixture.
Stay tuned as this extraordinary situation continues to unfold.
