Australia have seized top spot in Group C with a 2-0 victory over Argentina, who had Francisco Ortega sent off before half-time

A first-half goal from Lachlan Wales and a second in the 80th minute from the substitute Marco Tilio stunned 10-man Argentina as Australia seized top spot in Group C at the Tokyo Olympics.

Australia’s head coach, Graham Arnold – an Olympian at Seoul in 1988 – had promised that his team would “shock the world” and his charges delivered in the evening heat of the Sapporo Dome.
