Jean-Philippe Mateta’s fifth-minute strike was decisive as France edged out Argentina 1-0 to secure a spot in the men’s football semifinal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Despite Michael Olise’s late goal being disallowed due to a foul in the build-up, the host nation remained composed through ten minutes of stoppage time to confirm their victory.
France will now face Egypt in the semifinal on August 5, while Spain will compete against Morocco in the other semifinal clash.
