PARIS — Hosts France reached the Olympic men's football semi-finals for the first time in 40 years with a 1-0 win over Argentina thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's first-half goal in a grudge match in Bordeaux on Friday.

France will face Egypt for a place in the final and Morocco meet Spain in the other semi.

France vs Argentina fight after the game

Thierry Henry's France grabbed an early lead as they sought revenge in a repeat of the last World Cup final in which Argentina beat France.

Mateta opened the scoring for France after five minutes with a towering header in the six-yard box following a corner.

Argentina pushed for an equalizer, but a glaring miss by Giuliano Simeone and poor finishing denied them.
