And things looked bleak when Morocco went 2-0 up five minutes into the second half.

A spirited fightback saw Argentina make it 2-1 with 20 minutes remaining.

However, nobody could have predicted what happened next.

The goal sent the Copa America kings wild, with the likes of Man City star Julian Alvarez joining in celebrations.

But some fans watching from home went online to claim that the match was “rigged”, despite there being no indication it was.
