Brazil will fight this coming weekend for the gold medal after beating South Korea by 3-0. The Brazilians will face Mexico in the final, who defeated Japan in the other semifinal match by a comfortable 3-1.

The beginning of the duel was not easy for the 'canarihna’ that he had to save up to three clear occasions, even one under sticks, to prevent surprise. But when the Koreans were better, a counter mounted by Óscar was completed by Romulo with some help. The Brazilians were not being better, but his effectiveness allowed him to go to rest with an advantage.

The Brazil of Neymar and company

With the return to the field Neymar, disappeared in the first half, I found a pass to Damiao, What Marcelo failed first, but that Damiao did not forgive. And six minutes later, A loose ball in the area again shot Damiao, –Maximum tournament scorer–, that gave peace to the South Americans. From there the game was hell for the Koreans in part to the combinative game of the Brazilians who did not let the Asians smell it.

For your part, The other finalist, Mexico achieved with its historic victory, –First time they are classified for an Olympic final–, Bending to Japan, that despite putting ahead on the scoreboard, could not keep the rent that achieved the 13 MINUTES OF GAME THROUGH OTSU. Japan still did not receive a goal in the tournament and the ‘Tri’ that when drawing soon he gave the peace of mind to ‘cook’ The game and end up taking it.

Mexico left from the break to all and Oribe Peralta was the player who would enter the history of the tricolor team scoring the second to the 65 minutes. Asians did not lose the face of the game but Mexico knew how to maintain the ball and even finish off Japan in the discount time.

Brazil, With Leandro Damiao as the top scorer of the tournament and with an average of 3 goals per game, He will try to hang the gold against a Mexican team that has led more to more in the tournament and will hope to win its first Olympic final. For your part, Japanese and South Koreans will try to remove the bad taste of the mouth taking the bronze home.
