USA, Argentina, France, Spain all through

The USA, Argentina, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, France, Japan and Paraguay all reached the quarter-finals in the 2024 Summer Olympics football results on Tuesday.

Hosts France will face Argentina in a blockbuster clash, while the USA will play Morocco.

Spain take on Japan, while Egypt are set to face Paraguay.

Spain, who had already progressed, suffered a surprise first loss of the tournament to underdogs Egypt, missing out on top spot in Group C.

There were no such problems for any of the other teams who progressed, with France beating New Zealand 3-0, the USA and Morocco beating Guinea and Iraq respectively by the same score.

Argentina breezed to a 2-0 win against Ukraine while Paraguay beat Mali and Japan overcame Israel.

Spain vs Egypt: La Roja lose

Spain made 10 changes after qualifying with a match to spare but a 2-1 defeat to Egypt may give the tournament favourites a trickier route to the final, starting with what is likely to be a quarter-final test against Japan.

Full-back Marc Pubill hit a post early on for La Roja before winger Ibrahim Adel struck in either half for the Pharoahs, who will face Paraguay, Mali or Israel in the last eight. Samu Omordion’s 90th-minute header could not inspire a Spain comeback during 10 minutes of added time.

Perfect finish to the group stage! 🔥 Onto the next round! 💪#egyptnt pic.twitter.com/6po4yPeYWc

Elche winger Rafael Nunez’s penalty had opened the scoring seven minutes earlier for fellow debutants the Dominican Republic, who finished on two points and were also eliminated.

Morocco vs Iraq: Top spot secured

It was a massive achievement for Morocco to top the group by beating Iraq in the final group-stage game.

They finished level on points…
