What is it about Argentina and injury time at this Olympic tournament?
First we had the Morocco defeat on Wednesday where their 105th minute equaliser was eventually ruled out for offside.
And now they have conceded in added time of the first half against Iraq.
In truth, Javier Mascherano’s side have been excellent in the opening 45 minutes and although took the lead through Thiago Almada, really should have doubled their advantage.
Julian Alvarez had two excellent efforts to score but the South Americans have paid for that profligacy as they go into half time.
With 45+4 on the clock, Aymen Hussein got in front of Nicolas Otamendi and placed a sensational header into the far corner to go into the break all square.
