There were 25 goals in the 2024 Summer Olympics football results on Saturday, including starring roles from Premier League players and wins for heavyweights such as Argentina, France and Spain.
Team USA recorded the largest margin of victory, ending their 16-year weight for an Olympic goal with the help of three before half-time.
