When play resumed in an empty stadium, Morocco held on for a 2-1 victory. The match was overshadowed by the chaotic scenes that had unfolded earlier, with stewards struggling to control pitch invaders.
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni slammed the incident as a "scandal," calling for strong action to be taken against those responsible. FIFA has since opened an investigation into the incident.
