Argentina Y Egypt face in the second day of the Group C of the Tokyo Olympics. They do it in a key match for both, since neither of them managed to win on the first day and the one that does not obtain the three points in this match can complicate their qualification options for the quarterfinals.
Argentina played against Australia a first day in which he fell for 2-0. The goals of Wales and of Tilio for the oceanic they leave the albiceleste team with little margin of error, which is bound to win if they don't even want to be eliminated. A loss to Egypt leaves him out of the competition.
