The scandal in the Olympic match where Argentina lost 1-2 to Morocco on the night of July 24 made superstar Lionel Messi unable to sit still.

“Unbelievable,” Lionel Messi posted a brief status after learning that Argentina’s Olympic team had their goal canceled after 2 hours, only to have to return to the field for 3 more minutes and lose 1-2 to Morocco in Group B of the men’s football event at the Olympics.

Meanwhile, Argentina’s Olympic head coach Javier Mascherano said: “This is the biggest farce I have ever seen in my life.”

Argentina’s Olympic number 6 was determined to be offside while participating in an attack.

 

Argentina’s Olympic number 6 was determined to be offside while participating in an attack.

In the 90+16th minute, when the score was 1-2 in favor of Olympic Morocco, Argentina organized the final attack and put the ball into the opponent’s net.

The African fans immediately became angry and threw bottles and flares onto the field. In response to the crowd’s violence, players from both teams ran into the tunnel. At this time, the electronic board only announced that the match was temporarily suspended and asked fans not to act too violently, but the match had not officially ended.

Nearly two hours later, the Olympic players of Argentina and Morocco had to play an additional three minutes of injury time in an empty stadium.

When the world thought that Argentina had earned a point after a 2-2 draw, the Olympic organizing committee surprisingly announced that Medina’s goal was disallowed because a player in a blue and white striped shirt was offside while participating in the attack. Morocco maintained their advantage and ended the match with a 2-1 victory.
