Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi in one word described Argentina’s controversial defeat against Morocco in the opening match of the 2024 men’s Olympic football tournament.
“Unreal,” Messi wrote on his social networks.
The meeting ended with a score of 2:1. In the stoppage time of the first half, Sufyan Rahimi scored for the African team. In the 51st minute of the match, the player scored a double, successfully converting a penalty kick. The return goal for the South Americans was scored by Giuliano Simeone in the 68th minute.
There was a scandal during the match – in the 90th + 16th minute of the match, the Argentines equalized the score, the goal was scored by midfielder Christian Medina. However, after this, the match was not completed, and the referees continued to watch the video replay. Two hours later, the referees decided to mark the goal and allowed the teams to play three minutes of the match in front of empty stands. The Argentines failed to equalize the score for the second time during this time.
