Paris Olympics: France reached the men's soccer semifinals of the Paris Olympics after beating Argentina 1-0 on Friday.

French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta muscled in a header following a corner kick from Michael Olise in the fifth minute, which turned out to be the sole goal of the game, reported Xinhua.

Argentina's best chance came in the 36th minute when a cross found Soungoutou Magassa unmarked before the goal, but the defender's close-range header flew over the bar.
