Paris: The opening day of Paris Olympics football tournament witnessed a dramatic match between Argentina and Morocco, where a late goal by the South American giants was disallowed two hours later. It was all chaos at Saint-Etienne when Argentina played their first match after the controversial \u2018racist\u2019 song their players sang attacking France players during their Copa America title-winning celebration in the team bus. The Argentine side was missing the majority of stars from their Copa America squad but the young squad still faced the wrath of fans and were booed during their clash against Morocco. Some fans even entered the pitch as play was suspended with the score tied at 2-2.<\/p>\n
When the Argentine players celebrated their second goal, projectiles, including bottles and plastic cups rained down from the stands and several spectators entered the pitch, with the referee promptly blowing the whistle.<\/p>\n
Argentina football team captain Lionel Messi, who is not part of their Olympic squad, reacted on his Instagram story after the goal was disallowed and they lost the match.<\/p>\n
Messi wrote \u201cInsolito\u201d on Instagram story. It translates to \u2018unbelievable\u2019 or \u2018unusual\u2019 in English.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Argentina manager Javier Mascherano was stunned by what happened during the match, and he didn\u2019t mince his words while describing it as \u201cthe biggest circus I\u2019ve ever seen in my life\u201d.<\/p>\n
Argentina are looking to win men\u2019s football gold for the third time after success in 2004 and 2008, but Javier Mascherano\u2019s side trailed 2-0 following a brace by Soufiane Rahimi.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it was an underwhelming performance from Argentina despite having Nicholas Otamendi, Julian Alvarez and Geronimo Rulli \u2013 the Copa America winners, in their squad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
