The football match between Argentina and Morocco at the Saint-Etienne Stadium was suspended due to a pitch invasion by a small number of spectators, Games organisers said on Thursday.
Argentina lost 2-1 following a VAR review after play was suspended with the scores level at 2-2 but the final result was only confirmed two hours later when the game was restarted.
Once order was restored, and the teams had left the field following the invasion in which security staff chased several fans around the pitch, it became clear the match had not been completed but suspended.
There was a little intrusion that shouldn't have happened, but it was good-natured. A debrief has been held between the organising committee and FIFA and everything will be back to normal, French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said.
