Neymar shed tears of joy after delivering Brazil's first men's soccer
gold medal with the winning penalty in a 5-4 shootout triumph over
Germany after a thrilling final ended in a draw following extra-time on
Saturday.
Brazil had lost the Olympic final three times - in 1984, 1988 and 2012 - but they finally got the gold they craved on a dramatic night at the Maracana stadium in which they outplayed the Germans but were saved three times by the woodwork.
