Defending champions Brazil also had to struggle to make the final, beating Mexico 4-1 on penalties after the game ended goalless after extra-time. Japan had matched Spain throughout the game, playing with creativity and invention going forward and tenacity without the ball and they were five minutes away from taking the match to a penalty shootout.

Mexico and Brazil, the last two men’s Olympic gold medal winners, faced off in an utterly compelling, if unspectacular, men’s Olympic semifinal which was so evenly matched that it finished scoreless and needed a penalty-kick shootout to resolve the affair. And that marked the end of the gold-medal quest for a Mexican Olympic team that will instead play in the bronze-medal match after it failed to convert two of its penalty attempts (Eduardo Aguirre and Johan Vasquez), while Brazil scored on all its shots against Mexican goalkeeper captain Guillermo Ochoa, who guessed correctly on each, but couldn t make a stop.
