Argentina's under-23 team was stunned in the opening match of the men's soccer tournament at the Paris Olympics, losing 2-1 to Morocco in a contest that was delayed two hours due to crowd trouble in Saint-Etienne.The South American side appeared to have secured a dramatic draw after scoring deep into stoppage time of Wednesday's game. But a delayed Video Assistant Referee (VAR) decision disallowed <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///wcqcon/players/185699" href="https://thescore.com/wcqcon/players/185699">Cristian Medina</a>'s late goal.The celebration of the presumptive equalizer was marred by fans throwing projectiles onto the field in Medina and Argentina's direction after the goal. Some fans also trespassed onto the field and appeared to throw projectiles at Argentina's bench.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The match official halted the game due to the disruptions and the game seemed to be over at 2-2 after players left the pitch.However, organizers said the game wasn't officially over and kept players at the stadium to potentially restart the match. Fans were asked to leave.Medina had scored a minute after the allotted 15 minutes of extra time following a wild sequence in which the ball hit the crossbar twice before the Argentine midfielder headed it in.After spectators left the stadium and shortly before play resumed, VAR said that Argentina was offside in the buildup to the goal and ruled it out. Three minutes were added and Morocco held onto its narrow lead to secure an unexpected victory over two-time gold medalist Argentina.

Dutch forward <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///eurc/players/101177" href="https://www.thescore.com/eurc/players/101177">Joshua Zirkzee</a> joined from Bologna in a deal reportedly worth over €40 million.

La Roja finished with an unblemished record, beating Croatia, Italy, Germany, and France prior to Sunday's engrossing final.Spain also set a new European Championship record for most goals scored by a team in a single tournament with 15."I did my job, what I had to do at every moment," Oyarzabal told reporters, according to <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/who-said-what-after-spain-beat-england-to-win-euro-2024-13715fd0">Agence France-Presse</a>. "I was lucky enough to score the winner. You value it a lot. And if you're lucky enough to score the goal ... it's the best."England is now the first team ever to lose back-to-back Euro finals.

"We did really well to get back in the game at 1-1, and then we couldn't use our momentum to push on. ... It's as painful as it can be in a football match."Luis de la Fuente's squad started the game off as the superior team, controlling possession and registering the best chances in the first 20 minutes. As the opening half progressed, both sides had chances to score but were careful not to let their guards down or take too many risks in attack.Spain responded well to the adversity of losing midfield talisman <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///eurc/players/67114" href="https://www.thescore.com/eurc/players/67114">Rodri</a>, who was substituted at halftime with an apparent leg injury.

Bayern Munich bolstered their attack with the signing of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, the Bundesliga side announced Sunday.The French winger completed the move after agreeing to a long-term contract with Bayern that runs until June 2029.Crystal Palace are parting with Olise after Bayern agreed to pay an initial £45 million, plus £5 million in add-ons, transfer insider <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1810011894670925981">Fabrizio Romano</a> reports.

I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years."Chelsea and Newcastle were also linked with the 22-year-old, but Olise preferred a move to Germany's most successful team to play under new Bayern boss Vincent Kompany, according to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/czk01rl1rk8o">BBC Sport's Simon Stone</a>.Olise made 90 appearances in all competitions during his three years at Crystal Palace.

The session was canceled as the Inter Milan midfielder was taken to hospital by ambulance.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Canadian players and coaches visited Buchanan in the Dallas-area hospital, according to <a href="https://x.com/TSNScianitti/status/1808537650158051816">Matthew Scianitti of TSN</a>. Head coach Jesse Marsch expects that he'll be back at the team hotel Thursday before Canada's quarterfinal clash with Venezuela on Friday in Arlington, Texas, per Scianitti.Buchanan will travel with the squad if Canada wins that game and advances to the semifinals of the tournament, Scianitti adds."The way the guys support him, there were so many of us at the hospital yesterday, which says a lot about the unity of this group and how much they love and care for each other," Marsch <a href="https://www.tsn.ca/soccer/video/we-have-extra-motivation-this-will-be-for-him-canmnt-rallying-be~2951272">told TSN</a> on Wednesday.Striker <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///copam/players/40740" href="https://www.thescore.com/copam/players/40740">Cyle Larin</a>, a former club teammate of Buchanan when the two were at Belgian side Club Brugge, said the injury will provide "extra motivation" for Canada to progress to the next stage in its first Copa America appearance."This will be for him," Larin said.

Georgia pulled off a stunning upset against Group F winner Portugal, beating the 2016 European champion 2-0 to secure an unexpected knockout-round berth as one of the four best third-place teams. Turkey finished second after winning 2-1 to end Czechia's Euro 2024 campaign.Along with solidifying eight appealing encounters, the end of the group stage offers a clearer picture as to which countries might play each other as the tournament progresses.The bracket is noticeably unbalanced due to how the opening round unfolded. There are five former European champions on one side, with Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, and Denmark winning the tournament a combined 10 times since 1960.The quarterfinals could feature Germany taking on Spain, while Portugal could play France in a rematch of the 2016 Euro final. That's assuming they can successfully dispatch their respective opponents in the round of 16, which, as this tournament is showing, is anything but a certainty.On the other side, perennial contenders like England, Italy, and the Netherlands have a smoother path. However, there could be a rematch of the Euro 2020 final, as England and Italy could meet in the quarterfinals.There are also some fresh faces in the round of 16 that have never played a knockout game at the Euros, such as Slovenia and tournament debutant Georgia.Hungary and Croatia ended up missing out on the round of 16, finishing as the bottom two third-place teams.Third-place standings:<figure class="article-segment--table"><div class="table-responsive"><table>
