Equalizer doesn't count
Spain and Argentina in Olympic action
Mega scandal on the very first day of the Olympic soccer tournament: The match between Argentina and Morocco (1:2) was interrupted shortly before the end because fans stormed onto the pitch after the "Gauchos" had supposedly equalized the score at 2:2.
Rahimi (45.+2., 51./penalty) had given Morocco the lead with a brace, Giuliano Simeone (68.) scored the equalizer.
In the 16th minute of stoppage time, Medina scored the equalizer that was no longer thought possible - supposedly. Because dozens of fans stormed onto the pitch immediately afterwards, the match was initially interrupted - for almost two hours.
The whistle was then blown again, without spectators, but with a VAR check. And the result was that Medina's 2:2 was disallowed for offside. Three minutes were then played before the final whistle blew - and Morocco's victory was confirmed.
Marc Pubill (28) and Sergio Gomez (62) scored the goals for Spain in their 2-1 win over Uzbekistan, while Eldor Shomurodov (45+3/penalty) scored the equalizer in between.
