Brazil thrashed Korea 3-0 and gold will be played against Mexico

Last update 16 November, 2012 by Alberto Llopis

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.

La Brasil de Neymar y compañía

Con la vuelta al campo Neymar, disappeared in the first half, I found a pass to Damiao, What Marcelo failed first, but that Damiao did not forgive. Y seis minutos más tarde, un balón suelto en el área lo volvió a fusilar Damiao, –máximo goleador del torneo–, que dio la paz a los sudamericanos. A partir de ahí el partido fue un infierno para los coreanos en parte al juego combinativo de los brasileños que no dejaron olerla a los asiáticos.

For your part, el otro finalista, México consiguió con su histórica victoria, –primera vez que se clasifican para una final olímpica–, al doblegar a Japón, que a pesar de ponerse por delante en el marcador, no pudo mantener la renta que logró a los 13 minutos de juego por medio de Otsu. Japón seguía sin recibir un gol en el torneo y la ‘trique al empatar pronto le dio la tranquilidad para ‘cocinarel partido y acabar llevándoselo.

México salió desde el descanso a por todas y fue Oribe Peralta el jugador que entraría en la historia de la selección tricolor anotando el segundo a los 65 minutes. Los asiáticos no perdieron la cara al partido pero México supo mantener la posesión del balón e incluso rematar en el tiempo de descuento a Japón.

Brazil, con Leandro Damiao como máximo anotador del torneo y con una media de 3 goals per game, intentará colgarse el oro ante una selección mexicana que ha ido de menos a más en el torneo y que esperará ganar su primera final olímpica. For your part, japoneses y surcoreanos intentarán quitarse el mal sabor de boca llevándose el bronce a casa.
