France beat Argentina by 1-nil goal in the men’s football quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics 2024. The victory helped France reach the Olympic men's football semi-finals, joining Spain, Morocco and Egypt in the last four.

The French led at the break after Jean-Philippe Mateta gave the host nation a fifth-minute lead at Stade Matmut Atlan-tique in Bordeaux, France. 

There were ugly scenes at the end as a brawl involving players and staff ensued on the pitch and continued into the tunnel.

France topped Group A with three wins from three games. Argentina recovered from a controversial opening defeat by Morocco to claim the second spot in Group B behind the North Africans. France will now face Egypt in the semifinal.
