Rio de Janeiro (AFP) – Germany will face Brazil for the men’s football gold at the Rio Olympics after goals from Lukas Klostermann and Nils Petersen handed the world champions a 2-0 win over Nigeria in Sao Paulo.
Brazil earlier thrashed Honduras 6-0 with Neymar and Gabriel Jesus scoring twice to set up a fascinating rematch just two years after Germany thrashed the hosts 7-1 in the World Cup semi-finals.
Despite boasting a combined nine World Cup wins, neither country has won Olympic gold as a unified nation. East Germany won the 1976 gold in Montreal.
