Spain beat France to football gold, Morocco win bronze
Spain claimed Olympic men’s football gold on Friday after beating hosts France 5-3 in extra time with Sergio Camello scoring a decisive double in a thrilling final.
France had recovered from 3-1 down to equalise through a last-gasp Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty and force extra time, but Camello’s two strikes allowed Spain to take the title for the first time since 1992.
Meanwhile, the prolific Soufiane Rahimi scored twice and captain Achraf Hakimi netted a stunning free-kick as Morocco hammered Egypt 6-0 to take Olympic men’s football bronze.
Rahimi’s brace took him to eight goals at the Olympics, cementing his status as the tournament’s top scorer. At the same time, Abde Ezzalzouli, Bilal El Khannouss and Akram Nakach also scored in a comprehensive win at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes.
Hakimi’s late strike put the icing on the cake as Morocco claimed its first Olympic football medal and a first for North Africa.
