The Argentina Football Association (AFA) have made a formal complaint to FIFA's Disciplinary Committee following the incidents during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Morocco in their opening match of the Olympics.

A pitch invasion by Moroccan fans after Argentina's Cristian Medina had scored deep in stoppage time triggered a two-hour delay as the game in Saint-Étienne was eventually completed in an empty stadium.

Bottles, cups and firecrackers were thrown at Argentinian players during their goal celebration.
