Confusion and drama raged in the closing moments of Argentina's opening match at the Olympics men's soccer tournament, as a 106th minute equaliser against Morocco in Saint-Etienne prompted angry reactions in the stands and a game that was briefly labelled "interrupted" before reaching its conclusion.
