Neymar leads Brazil into Rio gold medal match
Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Neymar scored twice, including the fastest goal in Olympics history, as Brazil coasted into Saturday’s gold medal match with a 6-0 thrashing of Honduras at Rio’s iconic Maracana. The hosts now have the chance to ease some of the pain caused by a 7-1 humiliation at the hands of Germany on home soil at the 2014 World Cup by delivering Brazil’s first football gold medal. A mouth-watering rematch with the Germans is in store should the world champions see off 1996 winners Nigeria in Wednesday’s other semi-final later in Sao Paulo.
