The men’s football matches at the 2024 Paris Olympics were off to a flying start with Spain winning 2-1 against Uzbekistan in a nervy encounter and Argentina climbing back from a two-goal deficit to draw the game against Morocco.

European Champions Spain drew first blood as they scored the first goal of the tournament thanks to a well-worked free-kick routine which saw Sergio Gomez head the ball to the back post which was then turned in by defender Marc Pubill to give the lead to La Roja.
