Spain Claim Gold at 2024 Paris Olympics Men’s Football With 5-3 win Over France

Spain continued their recent dominance of international football by edging past France – who fought back from 3-1 down to force extra time – to win Olympic men’s gold at Paris 2024.

A pulsating match saw the hosts take an early lead, quickly fall 3-1 behind before half-time and then mount a stunning second-half comeback.

However, THIERRY HENRY’s side could not see the job through as Spain substitute SERGIO CAMELLO kept calm in the most tense of situations to score twice in the extra period.

Both goals sparked jubilant celebrations among the Spanish, who mobbed Rayo Vallecano forward Camello as they won Olympic gold for the first time since 1992.

The thrilling triumph continued Spain’s success, little over a month after they won the men’s European Championship, beating England in the final.

Falcons Lose to Spain as Brazil Gets Japanese Shocker

The Super Falcons of Nigeria must now record a win over Japan in their final group game and expect a favourable result in other games to stand a chance of qualifying to the next stage as one of best losers in the football event of the ongoing Olympics in Paris.

 

The Super Falcons lost 1-0 to Spain on last night, a second consecutive loss with same margin that leaves them rooted to the bottom of Group C.

 

RANDY WALDRUM’s side lacked a finisher to convert the few chances they created, and paid for it when Spain’s ALEXIA PUTELLAS scored directly from a free-kick in the last minutes of the game.

 

The side lost in similar fashion to Brazil in their opening game.

 

In the other group game between Brazil and Japan, MOMOKO TANIKAWA scored a stunning 96th-minute winner as Japan netted twice in injury time to come from behind and beat Brazil 2-1.

 

The result means Japan and Brazil — silver medalists in 2004 and 2008 — are now level on three points after two matches.
