Due to this a controversy arose in the match
The men's match between Argentina and Morocco at the Paris Olympics created controversy. Argentina scored a goal in stoppage time and drew the match 2-2. However, Moroccan fans, angry with the injury time added by the referee in the match, targeted the Argentine players and threw water bottles. Some people even entered the stadium. Firecrackers were burst on the Argentine players. Seeing this strange sight, the players got scared and had to leave the field and run away.
Moroccan fans blame referee
Moroccan fans allege that the referee extended the match so that Argentina could equalise. Earlier, when Argentina's national anthem was played before the match, some spectators present in the stadium shouted 'hurray' and a controversy broke out. The reason behind this controversial incident is the rivalry between Argentina and France that extends from the sports field to the ground. After Argentina defeated France in the FIFA World Cup final, the French footballer insulted the Argentine goalkeeper by putting a picture of French footballer Mbappe on a soft toy.
Fernandez fainted while celebrating
After winning the recent Copa America, Argentine footballer Enzo Fernandez lost his temper in celebrations and abused French footballers, calling them Angolan players. Now that the Olympics are being held in Paris, local fans are believed to have vented their anger by booing during the Argentine national anthem.
