Substitute Malcom strikes an extra-time goal to give Brazil a 2-1 victory over Spain in Yokohama.
Brazil have won their second consecutive Olympic men’s football gold as substitute Malcom struck the winner in a 2-1 victory over Spain in extra time. Matheus Cunha took advantage of a defensive lapse to score in first-half stoppage time in Saturday’s final after Richarlison smashed a penalty over the crossbar for Brazil. Spain equalised on the hour when Mikel Oyarzabal crashed home a thumping volley, but former Barcelona forward Malcom secured Brazil the title with his goal in the 108th minute.More Related News
