Argentina retained their Olympic football title by beating Nigeria 1-0 with a stunning Angel Di Maria goal in a final adversely affected by scorching conditions.Wilting in the searing heat, the Argentines survived a torrid half hour of Nigerian pressure to cling on for victory.
The midday showdown at the Bird's Nest was a repeat of the 1996 final, which Nigeria won 3-2 to become the first African team to win the tournament.
