Fans removed from stadium during chaotic Olympics football game due to field intrusion.

It was a tense and chaotic start to the football action at the Paris Olympics between Argentina and Morocco. The match, held at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in St-Etienne, was filled with drama and unexpected twists. Morocco looked to be heading towards a famous victory, leading Argentina 2-1 as the game neared its end.

But in the 16th minute of added time, Boca Juniors midfielder Cristian Medina scored a crucial goal, heading the ball into the net after it had bounced off the crossbar twice. This sparked a frenzy among the Morocco supporters, who stormed onto the pitch and began throwing bottles and flares. The Argentina players were visibly shaken as a firecracker was thrown towards their bench.

The match official had no choice but to halt the game, and it was later declared to have been "interrupted" by the Paris 2024 official website. The chaos needed to be cleared before the game could resume. After an hour of tense waiting, the decision was made to continue the match, with the remaining three minutes to be played in an empty stadium.

The Morocco fans were understandably upset with the late goal that had ruined their team's chances of a victory. To make matters worse, the goal was eventually disallowed after a review by the video assistant referee, as they deemed the Argentina player to have been in an offside position. The goal that had sparked the pitch invasion was now overturned, and Morocco had to hold on for the remaining minutes to secure their historic win.

The first half had ended with a last-second goal from Soufiane Rahimi, giving Morocco the lead. He then scored again from a penalty in the 49th minute, increasing their advantage. But Argentina fought back, with Giuliano Simeone scoring in the 68th minute to give his team some hope. It was only in the final moments of the game that Medina's goal seemed to have sealed a draw, but it was not to be.

In the end, the match concluded in an eerie atmosphere, with the stadium empty and the Morocco fans left disappointed. It was a match filled with emotions and unexpected turns, making it a memorable one for both teams.
