Spain beat France in dramatic fashion by 5: 3 after overtime and won the Olympic title in men's football at the Games in Paris, BNR reported.
Success was snatched after many 120 minutes of battle at the “Parc des Princes“ stadium, and regular time ended 3:3. So “La Furia“ managed to step on top after losing in Tokyo in the decisive match to Brazil and was left with silver. Two months ago, the Spaniards also won the European football title.
The most important goals for Spain came from Sergio Cameo in the 100th and 121st minutes. On the first occasion, he managed to get behind France's defense on the right after being brought out by Adrien Bernabé and technically dug the ball over the goalkeeper. In the 121st minute, Spain launched an excellent counterattack and Cameyo, left alone against Reste, made no mistake.
Regular time of the match ended 3:3, but the French managed to make up for a two-goal deficit. In the 11th minute, Enzo Mijo gave the “roosters” the lead, but only seven later, Fermin Lopez equalized after an assist from Alex Baena. In the 25th minute, Lopez scored his second goal with a beautiful performance, with which he made a complete turnaround. The strong performance of “La Furia“ continued and 180 seconds later, Baena executed an excellent direct free kick and made it 3:1.
After play resumed, France went on the offensive with confidence. In the 79th minute, Magnes Aklciusz reduced the deficit after an assist from Michael Olise. The activity of “roosters“ was rewarded in stoppage time when they were awarded a penalty. Captain Jean-Philippe Mateta was accurate and equalized the score. That wasn't all for regular time, after Spain's Turentes' first gift bounced off the crossbar, and then the home team conceded through Olysse.
In extra time, Spain looked fresher and were more fortunate not to go to the penalty shootout thanks to Sergio Camajo.
