On the evening of July 24, Beijing time, the men's football project of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games officially began, and 16 teams in 4 groups ushered in the first round of the group stage!
On the first day of the game, France Spain got off to a good start, Argentina lost 1-2 when the game was interrupted, and Japan 5-0 victory set a team record!
The two matches at 21 o'clock were the first to start, including the first round of Group B, the Argentina Olympic team encountered a long-lasting farce, first the referee gave a long 15 minutes of stoppage time, successfully scored the equalizer, and then the game was unexpectedly interrupted for 2 hours.
When everyone thought the game was over, the Paris Olympics officially canceled Argentina's equalizer, and the two sides played for 3 minutes in an empty field, and finally Argentina opened 1-2!
In regulation time, Rahimi scored twice in the second minute of first-half stoppage time and the 49th minute of the second half for the Morocco Olympic Games.
After two goals down, in the 68th minute, Giuliano Simeone scored in front of the goal, helping Argentina pull a goal back 1-2!
In the 15th minute of stoppage time in the second half, Almada's shot was saved, and then his teammate's header hit the crossbar, and Medina followed up with a header to score, 2-2!
Morocco fans then threw debris and broke into the stadium, causing a riot, and players from both sides had to leave the field. The game could not be continued, so it was interrupted, and the fans left the stadium thinking it was 2-2.
As a result, nearly 2 hours later, the IOC issued an announcement declaring that Argentina's goal was invalid because the Argentina players were offside and the players from both sides had to enter the field to play for 3 minutes.
In the end, this farce finally ended, Argentina lost 1-2 and unexpectedly suffered a black start, and Morocco successfully won the Olympic Games and scored 3 points to top Group B!
In the other match at the same time, Spain defeated Uzbekistan 2-1 to get off to a good start in the first round of Group C.
Compared to the dramatic competition of Argentina's Olympic Games, the game was relatively uneventful, with Sergio Gomez scoring the winning goal in the 62nd minute, and the young matadors showed a good level and climbed to the top of Group C with three points!
At 1 a.m. on July 25, Beijing time, the largest score of the men's football team in this Olympic Games was born in the first round of Group D. Japan defeated Paraguay 5-0 to get off to the top of Group D!
When the U23 Asian Cup champion met the first in South America in the Olympic preliminary round, who would have thought that Japan would be able to kick a gap of 5 goals, this battle can almost be said to crush the opponent.
In the 23rd minute, Yu Hirakawa was stepped on by Wilder Vieira, the referee gave a red card after VAR confirmation, and Paraguay's No. 10 player was sent off and could only play with 10 men!
In the case of playing one more person, Japan played a good ball control technique, patiently organized the attack to control the situation, dribbled flexibly and steadily, and the small range of transmission cooperation was smooth enough.
Shunsuke Minohe and Shota Fujio scored two goals, Rihito Yamamoto scored one goal, and Mitsuki Saito, who wore number 10, provided two assists.
At the end of the match, Japan defeated the 10-man Paraguay Olympic Games 5-0, accumulating 3 points to the first place in Group D, setting a record for the largest Olympic men's football victory in team history!
The last time Japan beat a South American team was a 1-0 upset win over Brazil at the 1996 Olympics, 28 years ago. As a team that did not recruit overage players or even brought younger players, Japan's five-goal win in the opening game was a surprise.
Looking at the first round of the group stage of this Olympic men's football team, I have to say that Japan is indeed the best team overall, who said that Asian teams cannot compete for Olympic gold medals?
The next 3 o'clock France Olympic Games against the United States Olympic Games, Lacazette, Olisse and Bardai scored in the second half in succession, and the host France successfully got off to a good start, accumulating 3 points to the top of Group A!
So far, the first round of the men's football group stage of the Paris 2024 Olympics has ended, and several potential gold medal favorites have shown their proper form!
