Caracas, February 12

Argentina secured their ticket to this year’s Olympic Games by beating Brazil 1-0 on Sunday in the final four of the South American qualifying tournament, leaving the 2020 champions out of the tournament in Paris.

Javier Mascherano’s side required a win against their bitter rivals following draws with Venezuela and Paraguay in the round-robin qualifying stage for the 2024 Games, with only the top two teams securing berths in Paris.

Argentina’s Under-23 team finished with five points. Brazil finished with three points. Luciano Gondou’s header in the 77th minute was enough to give the victory to Argentina, gold medallists at the 2004 and 2008 Games. Brazil, medal winners at the last four Olympics, have not missed the Games since 2004. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
