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

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