Brazil will not be playing at the Paris 2024 Olympics after losing to Argentina 1-0 in a qualifying encounter.

Luciano Gondou scored a header in the 77th minute to hand Argentina a golden passage to France for the Olympic Games with five points.

This is the first time for Brazil to not be at the Olympics since failing to qualify for Athens 2004.

Javier Mascherano-led Argentina will be aiming for gold in Paris after winning in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.
