In the afternoon of July 25, Beijing time, the second round of the Olympic men's soccer group stage was in full swing: the Egyptian National Olympic team faced the Argentinean National Olympic team. After the whistle blew, both sides had nothing to do in the first half; in the second half, Fakundo Medina scored a brilliant shot to give Argentina a 1-0 victory. ! [Match Moments](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/202107261283545112503277.png) Looking back at the first round of the tournament, the Egyptian National Olympics and the Spanish National Olympics played to a 0-0 draw. The Argentinian National Olympic team unexpectedly lost 0-2 to the Australian National Olympic team. This is undoubtedly a life-and-death match for both sides in terms of their hopes of qualifying. In the fifth minute of the first half, Gage hit the post with a shot, but the two sides had very few chances after that and the game ended in a 0-0 draw. In the second half, in the 51st minute, Facundo Medina seized the opportunity to break the deadlock for the Argentine national team. ! [Highlights of the goal](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/202107261283593550003277.gif) Although both sides exchanged goals in the second half, neither side was able to break through again. With these 3 valuable points, Argentina National Olympic team successfully kept their hope of promotion. In the final round, they will face the powerful Spanish National Olympics. If they lose, according to the rules, they will have to look at the goal difference when they are tied with Australia. ! [Tension](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/202107261283674800003277.png) So how good is this Argentine national Olympic team? The unexpected loss in their first match against Australia was unbelievable. Looking further into the matchup with Egypt, a loss seems reasonable. Objectively speaking, this Argentine national Olympic team is star-studded, or even starless: the only overage player is goalkeeper Ledesma, who is only a goalkeeper for Cadiz in La Liga. ! [player close-up](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/202107261283707612503277.png) At this moment, as an Argentina fan, are you reminded of the legendary 2008 Olympic team? That team had stars like Messi, Aguero, Di Maria, Riquelme, Gago, Iguaín, Mascherano, Demichelis and many more. Keep in mind that all the players are of age except for Riquelme and Demichelis. From that perspective, Argentina seems to be really going downhill. ! [Team Comparison](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/202107261283741987503277.jpg) Argentina starting lineup: 1 Ledesma, 2 Neuen Perez, 3 Bravo, 4 De La Fuente, 14 Medina, 5 Fausto Villa, 10 McAllister, 11 Barco, 16 Payero, 9 Gage, 15 De La Vega Egypt starting lineup: 1 Elsinawy, 4 Jalal, 6 Hegazi, 18 Mahmoud Hamdi, 2 Hamdi, 12 Akram Tawfik, 13 Elaki, 20 Ahmed Fatou, 7 Mohsen, 10 Ramadan Sobhi, 14 Ahmed Rayan
