Itâs been quite the week for the Argentina menâs Olympic side.
Their defeat to Morocco on Wednesday has gone down in history as one of the most remarkable matches ever.
You can read all about that loss here.
And after that it would have been quite easy for Javier Mascheranoâs side to sit on their laurels and not turn up for todayâs game against Iraq.
But the reigning world champions have been excellent in the opening exchanges and scored after only 14 minutes thanks to Thiago Almadaâs brilliant volley.
Almada has joined Brazilian side Botafogo this summer but on this evidence, will surely be troubling one of Europeâs major leagues in the not too distant future.
If the score stays like this an Argentina win, that makes Moroccoâs game against Ukraine later very interesting in Group B.
