France Beats Argentina in Olympic Men’s Football Quarter-Final Marred by Ugly Scenes. France secured a spot in the Olympic men’s football semi-finals after defeating Argentina 1-0 in a hostile quarter-final match.

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the winning goal for France in the fifth minute, heading home Michael Olise’s corner at the near post. Argentina’s best chance came just before half-time when Giuliano Simeone headed over from close range.

Musetti – Auger-Aliassime: 03.08.2024 17:00 CEST. H2H: 2-3 Lorenzo Musetti has won four of his last five matches. Last week in Umag,Musetti reached the final where he lost against Cerundolo in three tight sets as we predicted. Here in Paris, Lorenzo won his first round match just a day after his final match in Umag. Musetti defeated Monfils in straight sets, and looked fit on the court. Monfils made too many unforced errors, so Musetti did not have to work much. After that, in the second round, Lorenzo won against Navone in straight sets yet again. Similar to Monfils, Navone made 30 unforced errors, and fumbled under pressure. In the 1/8-Finals, Lorenzo defeated Fritz in straight sets as we predicted. Lorenzo lost his serve only once, which was at the beginning of the first set. After that, Musetti stepped up his level, and turned the set around. The second set was even up until 5-5 when Lorenzo broke Fritz’s serve and won the match comfortably in straight sets. In the quarterfinals, Lorenzo defeated Zverev in straight sets as we predicted. Musetti won all the important points in the match and deservedly won against the defending champion. Today, in the semifinals, Musetti lost against Djokovic in straight sets.

The U.S. women’s national team’s third and final game of the group stage came Wednesday against Australia, which they won 2-1 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille. Coach Emma Hayes made only one change to the lineup, with Emily Sonnett coming in for the injured Tierna Davidson. The rest of the team had deservedly kept their places, though they were mindful that Sam Coffey and Trinity Rodman were one yellow card away from suspension. Their Australian opponents were coming off a high-octane 6-5 win over Zambia earlier in the week. Their rich vein of scoring form was an obvious concern for Hayes, and so was their defense.
