In the Olympic Games men’s football group stage match that concluded in the early hours of July 25, Argentina lost 1-2 to Morocco. During stoppage time in the second half, at the 16-minute mark, Argentine player Medina’s equalizing goal sparked fan invasion and throwing of objects, causing the game to be halted.
However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) later issued an official statement declaring the match not over. One and a half hours after the end of stoppage time, the match was resumed, and the VAR ruled Medina’s equalizing goal invalid. Ultimately, Argentina suffered a 1-2 loss to Morocco in their opening Olympic match.
After the game, Argentine Vice President Victoria Villaruel, who had previously supported Enzo Fernández in singing a song suspected of racial discrimination, took to social media once again. She shared a video from the incident and commented, “They played our national anthem at the Olympics and humiliated us again. But it’s okay, Argentina will be great again, Long live Argentina!”
