ARGENTINA’S 116th minute equaliser against Morocco was RULED OUT as offside more than an HOUR after the game was suspended.
And the thrilling encounter was sensationally resumed to play three-added minutes – with the African champs running out 2-1 winners.
With 15 minutes of time added, the Copa America kings found the back of the net 30 seconds over the allotted slot.

The match resumed in an empty stadium almost 90 minutes later, after players were left waiting in the dressing room as chiefs scrambled to resolve the issue.
Both teams were then told they had 10 minutes to warm up in an empty stadium, as the ref’s whistle had indeed been to suspend proceedings.

The feisty encounter was suspended after dramatic scenes saw firecrackers and bottles hurled from the stands.
Some idiot supporters began to hurl dangerous objects at Argentine stars, forcing them to flee the pitch.
