Argentina coach Javier Mascherano has described the chaotic ending to his team's 2-1 loss to Morocco in the men's Olympic football tournament as a "disgrace" and "a circus".
Crowd trouble forced the first football match of Paris 2024 to be suspended for nearly two hours, with the game eventually completed in an empty stadium.
With Morocco leading 2-1 Argentina appeared to level the match 16 minutes into second-half injury time, which sparked bottles being thrown on to the turf and a pitch invasion by some supporters in Morocco colours.
The referee led both sets of players off the pitch at 16:05 (BST), with the match resuming at 18:00 after fans had left the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne.
Shortly before restarting, Argentina's equaliser was ruled out for offside following intervention from the video assistant referee (VAR).
Crowd trouble forced the first football match of the Olympics to be suspended for nearly two hours amid chaotic and worrying scenes, with the game eventually completed in an empty stadium.
Morocco had been 2-0 ahead against Argentina, who pulled a goal back and were pushing for an equaliser. Cristian Medina then appeared to have made it 2-2 in the 16th of what had been 15 scheduled minutes of injury time at the end of the second half.
After the resulting crowd trouble, play finally resumed after a lengthy delay with no fans present, and with VAR having ruled out Argentina's equaliser, Morocco secured a controversial 2-1 victory.
Here's how the chaos and confusion unfolded...
Immediately after Medina looked to have made it 2-2, a number of cups and bottles were then thrown at the celebrating Argentina side before what appeared to be a flare landed near the players and coaching staff.
A number of fans in Morocco colours also ran on to the pitch, with some being escorted off the pitch by stewards.
Riot police moved to the side of the pitch and the referee immediately took the players off the pitch.
The fans inside the stadium in Saint Etienne were told to leave the ground and a message on a big screen said: "Your session has been suspended please make your way to the nearest exit."
It was unclear whether the match had been classed as finished, but it was then revealed the final three minutes would be played in an empty stadium with no fans present.
"I have not been a coach for long, but never in my career as a player have I seen a situation like that," said Mascherano, who won gold with Argentina in 2004 and 2008.
"It is a circus. But that is how it is. We cannot control it. I told the boys that now we need to look forward, try to get the six points that will allow us to qualify and that all this should fill us with energy and anger for what we have ahead of us."
For some time the outcome of the match was unclear, with the official International Olympic Committee (IOC) website indicating it had ended.
Mascherano said the team captains initially "decided not to play on" and that the organiser "called Fifa" - world football's governing body - before deciding to restart the match.
"It is a disgrace that this should happen and poison the tournament. This wouldn't even happen in a neighbourhood tournament. It's pathetic," he added.
"Beyond the Olympic spirit, the organisation needs to be up to standard and at the moment, unfortunately, it is not."
A statement from the tournament organisers said: "The football match between Argentina and Morocco at the Saint-Etienne Stadium was suspended due to a pitch invasion by a small number of spectators.
"The match then restarted and was able to conclude safely. Paris 2024 is working with the relevant stakeholders to understand the causes and identify appropriate actions."
Argentina play their second match on Saturday in Lyon against Iraq, with Morocco facing Ukraine in Saint-Etienne the same day.
