Men's rugby medal matches: Fiji and France face off for gold

Mens rugby medal matches Fiji and France face off for gold
The Americans lost to Argentina in their final match at the 2024 Paris Games.

Argentina vs. United States

Seventh place was on the line between Argentina and the United States and the South Americans dominated on the way to a 19-0 win.

A good start was wasted by the Americans when Madison Hughes was tackled out of bounds right before the try line. Perry Baker was assessed a yellow card before the half for slapping the ball. Argentina used the man-advantage to feed the ball out wide to Matias Osadczuk for the 7-0 lead at the half. 

Osadczuk tacked on early second-half try. The Americans best scoring chance came after a Lucas Lacamp breakaway but an ankle tackle by Luciano Gonzalez and a not releasing penalty by Matai Leuta killed the opportunity. 

With four minutes remaining, Argentina great Gaston Revol received a loud cheer from the crowd as he was subbed out in his last sevens match of his career. Rodrigo Isgro scored the game-sealing try for Argentina. The Americans were shut out for the second time in Olympic tournament in what was likely Baker’s last international match.

Argentina 19, United States 0
