Morocco overcame Argentina in a remarkable match in Saint-Etienne. With the Atlas Lions 2-1 ahead and the game heading into the 16th minute of stoppage time, Cristian Medina scored what he thought was a last-gasp leveller.
The game was subsequently suspended, however. On players’ return, Medina’s goal was ruled out after a VAR review for offside. Morocco eventually saw out a victory which was earned thanks to two Soufiane Rahimi goals. Giuliano Simeone was on target for Argentina.
In other games Egypt and Dominican Republic shared the points, as the two sides battled to a 0-0 draw in Nantes. Chances came for both teams throughout the affair, but Dominican Republic goalkeeper Xavier Valdez and Egyptian counterpart Hamza Alaa were not to be beaten on the day, including Alaa doing well to tip away a Peter Gonzalez free-kick in 70th minute. Egypt tried to find a winner late on, but the defence of the Caribbean side refused to yield, ending in a point apiece.
