Denmark draw with Iraq

The opening match of the men's football tournament at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games ended in a goalless draw between Iraq and Denmark.

A sparse crowd inside the Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha in Brasilia saw a game full of chances but no goals.

Iraq were denied victory when Saad Abdul-Amir's long-range attempt was saved by Jeppe Hojbjerg.
Hosts Brazil, runners-up at London 2012, play South Africa in the same group later.
The men's football tournament has started one day before Friday's opening ceremony because of a packed schedule.
Mexico, winners at London 2012, face Germany in Salvador in Group C later.
