Maracana Stadium was filled with
celebration and relief as Brazil won
its first Olympic soccer title, defeating Germany, 5-4, on penalty kicks after the match remained tied at 1-1 through 120 minutes.
When the Brazilian goalkeeper
Weverton dived to his left to save a
penalty kick by Germany’s Nils
Petersen, the anxiety of the evening
exploded into liberation. Neymar, the star forward, then approached the ball for the winning penalty kick. He did a stutter step then shot high and assuredly.
Brazil has won five World Cups but never until that moment of release an Olympic gold medal.
Big congrats to them!
