[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, FIFA has rejected the appeal from the Argentine Football Association. In the first round of Group B of the men’s football tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the match between Argentina and Morocco ended in a 1-1 draw after Argentina scored a goal in the 106th minute. However, some fans threw firecrackers at the Argentina bench and entered the pitch, causing both teams’ players to leave the field. The match actually resumed two hours later, and the goal scored by Argentina was ruled out after a VAR check for offside. The match resumed for three minutes without fans, and it ended with Morocco winning 2-1. After the match, the Argentine Football Association filed a formal complaint to FIFA, and Argentine media revealed that the association requested a ruling in favor of the Argentine Olympic team. However, if Argentina had requested the match to be ruled as a draw, many people would find it reasonable, but requesting a victory instead of a defeat is a bit far-fetched.
