Argentina shake off chaos of Morocco game beating Iraq 3-1, Spain reach Olympic quarterfinals

PARIS: Argentina got their Olympic men's football campaign back on track with a 3-1 win over Iraq in Lyon on Saturday. Argentina, one of the pre-tournament favourites, suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Morocco in their opening Group B game marred by a pitch invasion by Moroccan fans and a two-hour delay. While Iraq threatened to pull off another surprise when Aymen Hussein equalized in first-half injury time, goals from Luciano Gondo and Ignacio Fernandez sealed victory for Argentina.
