South Korea found themselves up against a Olympic favourites Brazil and were never in the match as the South American giants made easy work of the Koreans to win 3-0 to keep their bid to win a first Olympic tournament alive.
Romulo scored the first goal of the match in the 38th minute before it became the Leandro Damiao show as he scored 2 second half goals in front of a 69,389 crowd. The tournament’s top goal scorer said, "I'm so happy, we have made a huge effort to reach the final. We are here to win the gold medal - it was a tough match but we are a great team. We are Brazil - we are here for the gold."
Brazil has now won all 5 matches and it will be difficult to see Mexico denying the Brazilians a first gold medal in the Olympic Games.
But for the first 38 minutes, the Koreans were stubborn, defending doggedly and showing the crowd why they only conceded 2 goals during the tournament but when Neymar started to get threatening South Korea seemed to have no answers. The Brazilian playmaker was imperious and when he found Romulo the match seemed over already.
Neymar continued to dominate in midfield and in the 57th minute Damiao benefited from his play to score Brazil’s second goal. Seven minutes later the striker took advantage of poor Korean defending to score his second and Brazil’s third.
The Brazilian’s will now play Mexico in the final and aim to finally gain gold at the Olympics.
