Argentinian vs. Morocco - A finding from the 16th minute of extra time will be reversed after two hours.
Weirder Start in the Olympic Soccer Tournament: After nearly two hours, Argentina's equalizer against Morocco, scored in the 16th minute of stoppage time, was taken back due to a video replay. Angry Moroccan fans stormed the field in protest of the long stoppage time. Spectators threw objects, stewards tried to get the fans back on the field.
Is the game now over or just interrupted?
There was confusion about whether the game had already ended or was just about to finish being interrupted. The video boards in the stadium displayed that the game was interrupted, and spectators were asked to leave. Fans and many observers believed that the game had officially ended.
At first, on the official Olympic website, it was stated that the equalizer goal would be investigated for an offside position, but the result was given as 2:2. After a nearly two-hour interruption, the players returned to the field in the now empty stadium. Once the video replay took back the 2:2 officially, three more minutes were played. The result was changed to 2:1 in favor of Morocco in the official channels.
The video evidence from the controversial equalizer in the Olympic Soccer Tournament between Argentina and Morocco led to a ruling change, invalidating the goal and keeping the score at 2:1 for Morocco. During the Olympic Games in Paris, this unexpected turn of events caused chaos, with spectators mistaking the interruption for the game's end.
