Captain Neymar put the host nation in front in the 27th minute after converting a free kick. However, German Max Meyer scored from the spot to equalise before the hour mark.
Both teams were unable to find the winning goal in the encounter, with the final match ending in a penalty shootout.
And following Weverton’s save of Nils Petersen’s shot, it was down to Neymar to score the winning penalty. And the Barcelona forward made no mistake, helping Brazil to win first ever gold in an Olympics competition.
