Argentina are out of the running in the men’s football event of the Rio Olympics having failed to get the needed win over Honduras on Wednesday.
Argentina needed to win to stay in contention in Rio but the South Americans could only force out a 1-1 draw agaisnt the Honduras team that have now progressed to the quarter finals alongside Portugal who finshed top in Group D with 7 points.
In dramatic fashion, Bryan Acosta and Angel Correa missed penalties either side of half-time for Honduras and Argentina respectively, only for Antony Lozano to make it third time lucky.
Mauricio Martinez’s injury-time goal was too little too late as the Albiceleste crashed out.
With the 1-1 draw, Honduras have repeated their feat of four years ago when they made it this far in the men’s football event in London.
