Spain secured the gold medal in the Olympic men’s soccer final after defeating France 5-3 in a thrilling match at Parc des Princes.
Sergio Camello scored twice in extra time to seal the victory for Spain, completing a successful summer for Spanish soccer following the senior team’s European Championship triumph.
This win also marked Spain’s first gold medal in men’s soccer in the Olympics since 1992.
Despite France’s comeback from a 3-1 deficit to force the game into extra time with a late equalizing goal, it was Spain’s substitute, Camello, who secured the win with two decisive goals.
