But after taking the lead, Morocco played a bit of a disagreement, and even some players always liked to lie on the ground and stall for time. Simeone's third son, Giuliano, pulled one back in the 68th minute in front of goal. As the Morocco players dragged on more and more, the referee gave 15 more points of stoppage time in the second half, which also caused a huge controversy. After Argentina hit the crossbar twice in the 106th minute, Medina's header in front of goal headed into the empty net. In the end, Argentina drew 2-2 with Morocco.
