After two days of snorting, the team returned to the pitch after Argentina and Morocco's opening of the Olympics.
Although the Olympic Games ' opening ceremony has not yet been held, the sports competition has now experienced its second-largest controversy.
The women's opening match between Argentina and Morocco on Wednesday evening came to an abrupt conclusion following the Canada women's" spygate" affair.
An interesting game looked to had ended in a 2-2 draw after Argentina's Crisitan Medina headed the game home, deeply into what had been 15 minutes of delay period.
That' objective' saw Brazilian celebrations result and the players immediately left the pitch and just prior to television feeds cutting aside, a few fans could be seen entering the field of play.
The official Olympic website reported that the match was over and had ended in a 2-2 draw and broadcast images moved on to the next match between Egypt and the Dominican Republic.
But it soon emerged that the match was not actually over, with a message on the screen in Saint-Etienne stating that:" Your session has been suspended. Make your way to the return closest to you.

Viewers left the ground, but finally around 90 minutes after, news emerged that Argentina's equaliser had in truth been disallowed, with the semi-automated VAR program confirming that Argentina's Bruno Amione was offside in the build-up.
People and leaders therefore returned to pitch only after 6pm to sing out three more minutes in an empty stadium. The last bell later blew, with Morocco securing a 2-1 success.
People, authorities, and fans were left more unsure than unsure by the turbulent scenes, with Argentina manager Javier Mascherano complaining about the sequence of events.
" I have not been a coach for much, but never in my career as a player have I seen a situation like that. It is a rodeo. But that is how it is. It's a disgrace that this should occur and poison the game. This would n't even happen in a neighbourhood tournament. It's sad.
" We were always told that the play]Medina's target ] was being reviewed, no, no, no, "he said following the eventual realization of the activity". The match was suspended because of stability. We were never informed of the review; in point, the Olympic Games ' standard website listed the match as 2-2.
" The match was suspended because of surveillance, at no time did they speak about the review. Finally, when we had no news one minute after, we started to notice unusual things. What was explained to us by the referee? No, no, the referee not came, he always gave us an reason".

Yet Lionel Messi, who is not participating in the game, weighed in as he posted the term' Insolio' on his Instagram Stories, which translates as' incredible', with an uncomfortable emoji.
Then off for Argentina is a match against Iraq in Lyon on Saturday, while Morocco taking on Ukraine in Saint-Etienne again.
