Spain Stuns Morocco with 2-1 Comeback, Advances to Olympics Football Final

In a thrilling semi-final match, Spain staged a remarkable 2-1 comeback victory over Morocco to secure their spot in the men’s Olympic football final. Morocco’s Soufiane Rahimi, the tournament’s top scorer, opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the Games from the penalty spot in the first half, leaving Spain trailing.

However, Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez equalized midway through the second half in Marseille, capitalizing on a loose ball in the penalty area to revive Spain’s hopes. The momentum shifted in Spain’s favor, and substitute Juanlu Sanchez sealed the win with a stunning goal five minutes from time, sending his team to the final.
