Saint-Étienne, France: Paris Olympics organisers on Thursday were investigating the crowd trouble during a chaotic football match between Argentina and Morocco that marred the opening day of sport at the Games.
Argentina's football association meanwhile called for action following the defeat for its men's side on Wednesday.
The Moroccans beat two-time gold medallists Argentina 2-1 in Saint-Etienne at the end of a game mired in confusion and crowd trouble.
Argentina thought they had salvaged a 2-2 draw when Cristian Medina scored in the 16th minute of injury time as the game went on even beyond the 15 extra minutes indicated by officials.
But crowd trouble ensued, with projectiles launched onto the pitch and spectators invading the playing area. A firecracker was thrown at the Argentina bench.
