France takes revenge on Argentina in Olympic football

The host country faces Egypt in the semi-finals

Spain-Morocco will seek the final from the other side

MADRID, 2 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –

France advanced to the semi-finals of the men’s Olympic football tournament on Friday at the expense of Argentina (1-0), where they will face Egypt, while Morocco and Spain will play for the other ticket to the final of Paris 2024.

With four world champions two years ago in Qatar, Argentina was eliminated from the Games by a host country that took revenge on its elders, who fell in that World Cup final. From a poorly defended corner in the fifth minute, Mateta appeared to head in the 1-0 that was decisive in Bordeaux.

There was a lot of tension and less football, with few chances, Argentina was unable to turn the score around. France managed to score a second in the final stretch but it was disallowed, with a warning from the VAR, for a previous foul. After a long stoppage time, the rivalry and the quarrels between two teams with history finally broke out.

The Blues will face an Egypt side that won on penalties (5-4) against Paraguay, after a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes that was not changed in extra time. The Pharaohs will try to serve up an African final, if Morocco delivers against Spain. The Moroccan team beat the United States (4-0), while the Spanish team won (0-3) against Japan.
