Brazil won their second successive gold medal in football after defeating Spain 2-1 in a nailbiting contest in the men's football final at Tokyo Olympics 2020 on Saturday. The match was tied 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes and required a goal from Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira in extra time to deny Spain a second Olympics games gold medal.

Richarlison missed a penalty in the game after just 38 minutes when the game was tied at 0-0. However, Brazil still went half-time ahead as Cunha opened the scoring at the end of the first half. Mikel Oyarzabal equalized for Spain at the hour mark as he slid a fantastic volley at the far post following an outstanding cross. With the game tied at 1-1 even at the halfway stage of extra time, it seemed like the match was destined to go into penalties. However, Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira scored the winner in the 108th minute via a brilliant counter-attack set up by his teammates, thereby helping Brazil clinch their second successive gold medal at an Olympics event.
