Reinier helps Brazil into Olympics final
BVB player Reinier has helped his native Brazil reach the final of the Olympic Games football tournament. The attacker scored the decisive penalty in the semi-final shootout victory over Mexico.
Reinier came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the match. After both normal time and extra-time had ended goalless and all square, the tie was decided by penalties. Two Mexican players missed, while all the Brazilians scored. Reinier dispatched his spot-kick into the bottom right corner to make it 4-1 and put his team through to the final.
The final will take place in Yokohama on Saturday (7 August) at 13:30 German time. The opponent will be the winner of the second semi-final between Japan and Spain. (cr)
