Brazil has reached back-to-back men's Olympic football finals following a penalty shootout victory over Mexico.

The defending champions won 4-1 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes.

Brazil goalkeeper Santos saved from Eduardo Aguirre in the shootout before Johan Vasquez hit the post with Mexico's second penalty.

Brazil will play Spain at 11.30pm Saturday in the gold medal match.

Dani Alves, Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli, Bruno Guimaraes and Reinier all scored their spot-kicks for Brazil.
