Moroccan fans were not happy with the ending of their Olympic opening soccer game against Argentina.
Late in the second half, fans were stunned to learn that 15 minutes of stoppage time was added to the game.
Unfortunately for Morocco, Argentina was able to tie the game in the 106th minute.

Soccer fans were not happy about the game’s ending.
“Argentina getting 15 minutes of stoppage time out of nowhere and tying it in the 106th minute is insane. Morocco totally hosed. Not even the Olympics are safe from soccer corruption,” commented one fan.
Moroccan fans apparently felt they got screwed by the 15-minute stoppage time and began throwing bottles onto the field in protest of the outcome of the game.
