Argentina head into their final group stage match at Tokyo 2020 knowing they need a win to reach the knockout phase of the men’s Olympic football competition.

A win and a defeat so far leaves the South American side in third place in a tight group, with Australia having a somewhat easier game left to play against Egypt.
