Brazil brings home second Games title
It took Brazil 64 years to win its first Olympic gold medal in men’s soccer. Five years later, it has its second.
Playing in the same stadium in Yokohama, Japan, where its national team won the 2002 World Cup final, Brazil repeated as Olympic champion by beating Spain 2-1 in extra time.
Malcom, a 24-year-old forward, delivered the winner as a freshlegged substitute, scoring off a long pass in the 108th minute.
