Olympic Finals : Brazil vs Spain

The Olympic football final is coming up this weekend as powerhouses Brazil and Spain face off for the gold medal.

Brazil and Spain were much fancied before the tournament got underway and have seen off the rest to reach the showpiece match.

Brazil, who claimed gold at Rio 2016, beat Mexico on penalties in the semi-finals.

Spain, meanwhile, edged past hosts Japan to set up Saturday’s mouthwatering clash.

The likes of Dani Alves, Richarlison, Pedri and Marco Asensio will be on show as the two sides eye Olympic glory.

It was tight and it also required nerves of steel from the penalty spot, but the South Americans are now there with the chance to defend their 2016 title. A feisty affair saw nine yellow cards dished out as Andre Jardine's men made no mistake as Mexico missed twice. Dani Alves led by example with the opening spot kick and Gabriel Martinelli, Bruno Guimaraes and Reinier also converted.

The Japanese and Mexican sides will now meet in the bronze medal game at Saitama Stadium 2002 before the Selecao and La Rojita do battle for the gold medal at International Stadium Yokohama to close this event.

It was a come back tournament for Spain as Spain did not perform well in the group stage and suddenly come back winning all the matches with a close win.

As for Brazil, as usual, the Samba Football is working well and they are dominating the tournament with goals. 

Prediction: Brazil 2 - 1 Spain
