Brazil has defended its Olympic men's football title following a dramatic extra-time victory over Spain this morning.

Substitute Malcom slotted home the winner after 108 minutes to hand Brazil the gold medal.

Matheus Cunha gave Brazil the lead in the first half which was cancelled out by Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal as both sides were locked 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes.

Everton forward Richarlison missed a penalty and hit the crossbar.

Brazil were competing in their third successive gold medal match at the Games, following on from the gold they won in Rio and a silver picked up in London 2012.
