Morocco pushed a star-studded Argentina to the limit in their opening match of the 2024 Olympic Games men’s football tournament, conceding a heartbreaking equalizer in the final seconds to settle for a thrilling 2-2 draw.

Soufiane Rahimi bagged a brace for the Atlas Lions, putting them in a commanding position after a dominant first-half display.

Argentina, featuring veterans like Julian Alvarez, struggled to break down a resolute Moroccan defense. However, a late surge saw them claw their way back into the game.

Giuliano Simeone halved the deficit in the 68th minute before substitute Joaquin Medina snatched an equalizer well into the stoppage time.
