Argentina brave heat to take gold
-
Argentina retained their Olympic men's football title as they overcame the heat to beat Nigeria 1-0 in the Bird's Nest stadium.
Benfica striker Angel Di Maria's neat chip after 58 minutes was enough to give the Argentines victory.
Nigeria had their fair share of chances, but were unable to beat goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
Play was stopped twice to allow players to take on water to deal with the searing 42C (107F) heat.
Brazil took the bronze medal on Friday, strolling to a 3-0 win over Belgium on Friday.
