    Morocco defeated Argentina 2-1 in their Group B opener at the Paris Olympics, following a chaotic ending to the encounter.The first game at the Olympics was suspended for nearly two hours after Morocco supporters invaded the pitch following Argentina’s later equalizer.Morocco were leading 2-1 before Argentina’s Christian Medina scored 16 minutes into added time, prompting the pitch invasion where firecrackers were thrown.The players were taken off the pitch and were later informed that the game would be resumed with a VAR check for Medina’s goal.The match resumed in an empty stadium, with the goal dramatically being ruled out for offside before an additional three minutes were played.Morocco held onto their lead and won the game, with Argentina head coach Javier Mascherano calling the situation a "circus" and a "disgrace."Mascherano added that “this should fill us with energy and anger,” as his team will need to beat Ukraine and Iraq in order to ensure qualification.
