Paris Olympics begin in chaos. Argentina-Morocco, the first match of the men’s football tournament, was interrupted due to a pitch invasion by North African fans to the goal of the 2-2 of the South American national team, scored in the 16th minute of injury time. The match remained stopped for 2 hours, even generating the doubt that the game had ended with that score: and instead at the stroke of 120 minutes the referee, the Swedish Nyberg, brought the teams back on the field, signaled that he had cancelled the draw with the VAR, where the Italian Valeri is, and after a very short restart he whistled the end with the 2-1 for Morocco.
