In the quarter-finals:
The match had 15 minutes of stoppage time added on. As the game entered the 16th minute of stoppage time, Morocco was leading 2–1 when Argentina took a shot at goal from the edge of the box. This shot was pushed back into the area by Morocco's goalkeeper, leading to another two Argentina attempts hitting the crossbar and falling back into the area in succession, before Cristian Medina was able to head the rebounding ball into the goal and equalise for Argentina. [5] [6] Moroccan fans, feeling that time had elapsed and the game should have ended before Argentina scored, immediately began rioting in the stadium. Spectators stormed the pitch and set off pyrotechnic explosions, leading to the game being suspended amid safety concerns for the players. After the stadium was emptied, [7] the match was resumed behind closed doors in order to play the final three minutes. [8] The match resumed at 19:02, with Argentina's goal disallowed following a VAR review. [9]
