Day 15 BBC Two: 22.20-00.00 Olympics

Welcome to viewers on BBC Two, we are here live with the final section

of the modern pentathlon. Is his shooting letting him down, the

combined run shoot, the final event of the pentathlon is now on BBC Two.

The Russian is way ahead of the field. He has got the gold medal

sewn up unless something goes drastically wrong. You can see the

gap behind him, Alexander Lesun. The Italian bearer. He is being

overtaken by 24. -- Ismael Marcelo Hernandez Uscanga.

The Ukrainian is in the bronze medal position. 32-macro there, in the

yellow and green of Australia. His sister got the gold medal here

yesterday -- Max Esposito. He had an excellent fence at the start of the

day. He did really well in the swim, we think he is in tenth position

now, 28. This is a real battle for the bronze medal position -- Jinhwa

Jung. The gold medal goes to Alexander Lesun. The race coming up,

Ismael Marcelo Hernandez Uscanga of Mexico wins and modern pentathlon

medal for his country. Alexander Lesun, the only Russian here in the

modern pentathlon team finishes in first place. His team-mate was

banned in the controversy over doping. It looks as though it will

be a ninth place for Jinhwa Jung. James Cook crossing over the line.

You have been keeping an eye on the placings. We think James Cook was in

13th place. He has moved up a few spots. -- James Cooke. A

disappointing final run for him even to go for the medals. He has got a

great future ahead of him. Absolutely. This was an amazing

position for Joseph Choong to BN. He has given it his all and he should

be proud. He has gleaned so much experience for this competition. At

the end of the day, there were better and more experienced athletes

out there. The times were so close, the field was so bunched together,

it was a real battle for those medals. Alexander Lesun walked the

gold medal but the others were very tight. Silver medal for Pavlo

Tymoshchenko from Ukraine. And Ismael Marcelo Hernandez Uscanga

from Mexico moved from sixth place to third place. So no medals for

Team GB in the modern pentathlon in 2016, the first time since Steph won

her gold medal in London since that has happened. Lots to learn, when we

refresh in Tokyo in four years' time. CLARE BALDING: Matthew Pinsent

was watching the final stages. You have been following it throughout

and for 13 macro, a disappointing finish but when you try to shoot and

you are exhausted, it can have a disastrous effect -- Joseph Choong.

The skill of the combined event is to give everything into the run and

your breathing very heavily, your arms are going up and down, people

do not notice, it is a laser weapon, every time you have to put the gun

down to reload, it is electronic, it is going up and down, you are

breathing, it is very difficult. There was no way in reality that he

had the experience in modern pentathlon to deal with that

situation and his first Olympics, he has hardly finished in any ranking

event in the top ten before now. Seven in the Europeans was his best

result. Let us give him credit, he has done well to put himself in a

position for that and I do not think you can call it disappointing. For

both of them, Matthew, the same thing for the women yesterday, the

very first ranking for the fencing was costly. It is enormous. In that

opening preliminary round fencing, you fight against everyone else in

the competition, your wins are tarted up and your losses and that

ratio gives you the points and we had that with Samantha Murray, her

quote was, I fenced like an idiot in her opening round which put her a

long way back from the medal position. James Cooke, probably our

number one ranked male athlete,... There he is right there. Hang on.

The usual politics with the mixed zone. Delighted. How was your

performance? It was good. I started off terribly with the offence. The

other day. It did not start from there but then I said to myself as

long as I make myself proud in the other events, the swimming was very

good, Ambrose probably beat me about ten times this year so it was nice

to get him. I was pleased with the ride, it was tricky, but I got

around, but the atmosphere was incredible. Family and friends were

here which was nice. How badly were you kicking yourself about that

opening fans? It is something we have been working on for the last

three years and it has been going so well. I always said, 2016 cannot be

a bad year, I finished as world number one, I won two World Cups, it

hurts, but I am proud of my year but not quite proud of my fencing. What

kind of performance was realistic when you came into Rio? Everyone

comes in here to win medals, with medals and ahead and that is

something I wanted to do. I just did not put myself in the best position,

the fencing killed me. It was like rowing with one or. I left myself a

lot of work to do. First Olympics, lots to think about. This is

inspiring so I definitely want to be back. Just a word about Joseph

Choong, what kind of performance did he put in to put himself in that

position? He is not your average Joe, here's a fantastic athlete. He

is incredibly talented, he had the best competition of his life and

unfortunately he did not hold it there. But he put himself in the

right position and that is all you can ask. We are talking about you.

How was your competition? Everything went really well except for the

shooting, to be honest. I had been first going into a competition

before, I was very happy with my first shoot, you cannot ask for more

and the last shoot was the same. It was just the middle, I do not know

what happened. I felt I was shooting fine, but the target is not going

off, so it was my fault. Have you ever been in that position going

into the combined before? Since the under 18 's, I am used to starting

first. I have got good memories and experience from those times.

Unfortunately it did not work today and I do not know why. How do some

up the pentathlon performance from Britain? There were definitely some

positives. The girls finishing top ten was incredible after they're

fairly per offences they had, compared to the normal high

standards. Jamie did well coming back. His swim was back to his

personal best. Definite positives to take away. Well done both of you,

something to build from. Can we say thanks to all of our family who are

up there watching us. Thank you to the national lottery as well,

without them we would not be here. Job done, well done. Joseph Choong

finishing ninth and Jamie in 14th place. Matthew has followed the

modern pentathlon throughout. Great Britain still waiting for a medal in

individual terms, but in 1976, the team got a gold medal. I promise we

will bring you up-to-date with the diving, Noel Tom Daley, he finished

last and failed to qualify for the final of the 10m platform, but gold

went to China and it was their younger diver who was absolutely

sensational. Look at this for a final dive.

Aisen Chen who had withstood the pressure of coming here with all the

expectation, he is only 20 years old and it is his first Olympics and

while his compatriot Bo Qiu had a terrible around, but Aisen Chen

remains superb throughout. Sanchez finished second, a silver medal for

Mexico, but America took the bronze medal with David Boudia. We will

move to the flyweight boxing, Nicola Adams, this is how she performed

today. Nicola Adams, looking to join the shortlist of Olympic boxing

legends, taking a brace of titles in the boxing ring. Head up. No

holding. An Olympic gold medal bout about to get underway. Here we go.

The first of the scheduled rounds in the final. Nicola Adams has

demonstrated terrific variety, targeting the head and body from the

right flanks. Into the second round, Nicola Adams sweeping the opening

round unanimously with 10-9 from all the judges. A wonderful one, two

from Adams who is finding a range and rhythm and timing. Two rounds

completed, both of the completed round so far have scored in favour

of the reigning Olympic champion, Nicola Adams. Working well but that

left jab but Sarah Ourahmoune is getting closer with her punches.

Nicola Adams fell short there. Sarah Ourahmoune with that increased

success has swept round three across the board, one point is in it. All

of her ring craft and experience will be put to the test as Sarah

Ourahmoune trying to work away at close range. Both boxers continuing

to extract the best from one another. Incredibly tight gold medal

bout between two familiar rivals. Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant

roar having been crowned as Olympic champion for the second successive

time. I am now officially the most accomplished amateur boxer ever. It

is such an amazing feeling. It takes a lot to win an Olympic medal,

especially to be able to do it twice. One of the most electrifying

smiles in all of sport, beaming from ear to ear, a great performance from

Nicola Adams, Gold medallist for the second successive time in the

flyweight division. Anthony Joshua is with me, you were ringside for

Nicola Adams, how pleased were you with? I have known her for years,

watching her train and it is a struggle that not everyone gets to

see. The glory, the victory and the smile on her face, she will shed a

tear. I was not going to cry, but I felt that with her.

Within moments you want Ritchie wasn't doing enough? I gauged her

opponent's tactics, she's quite explosive. I was happy because I

could see Nicola controlling the fight, jabbing between those

moments. The opponent was ferocious and I was thinking, it's an Olympic

final, of course you will have two people very close in styles, in

ability. Nicola managed to pull through, control the battle. How

much is her success down to the training, technique, but also her

sheer enjoyment of it all? Her love of the sport? You deftly got it

right, I was going to say that. Yeah, it's hard work, it's

discipline, but everyone works hard, you have to enjoy what you do so it

doesn't become work. Find a passion you can follow so when you are doing

it it doesn't feel like work. Its regiment, it's routine. She's been

doing it so many years and it with a smile on her face, that's what

brings out the best in her. Tomorrow you will lose your reign as Olympic

champion, occurs in the superiority wait final whatever happens there

will be a new champion, Joe Joyce for Great Britain, what do you think

his chances are of emulating you and then exclusive -- then Lennox Lewis

and Vitali Klitschko. We've been on the server together since he was 18,

19. I've seen him, the hard way, he's had it tough, stuck with it,

had good times, got his chance to come to the GB squad. Now he's

representing his country in the final. Look at Joe Joyce's story

from grassroots to champion, I'm going to call him a champion because

I believe you can achieve that, it'll be a phenomenal story, I got

to from day one. You know what it takes to become Olympic champion,

what do you need more than anything else? Your team, your team, these

are the people that will keep you grounded, as I've always mentioned,

sometimes your struggle is your greatest success, it's all good

celebrating with all your family and friends, it's the people who are

with you through the struggle. You need people that were always

uplifted and ride with you until the walls fall. For me the greatest

asset is your team. Jo has got that? Yeah, look up at him we took to

2012, the team we brought here, the 14 qualified, he's got a phenomenal

team around him, that's why I'm confident of him winning his medal

tomorrow. It could be Great Britain's last medal of the Olympic

Games, it'll take place at 7:15pm tomorrow evening.

And again. Pushback. Touch. And again. Step. Good. And again.

Joe Joyce is ready and wants to follow in the footsteps of Anthony

Joshua, who is tall, it's not often I have to do an interview with the

microphone up here. Later on BBC Two we'll be joining the gold medal

football match between Brazil and Germany. Massive excitement around

here, I suspect if goals are scored we will hear the cheer in Olympic

Park. You'll certainly hear it in Copacabana even if it's being played

at the Maracana, which is quite a way away, how is your evening? Every

bar and Prescott is packed behind me at Copacabana. Myself and my guest

in the studio, I work show you who they are, were thinking you may be

needed a box for your interview. We've got a lot to fit in before

Brazil and Germany kick off. We'll start with tae kwon do. It's been a

great competition for Britain so far with a gold and silver. TJ Jones.

Really euphoric. Lutalo Muhammad's silver committee was disconsolate

after losing his final in the last second. Two more Britons in action,

let's tell you how they've got on. We start with Bianca walked in, who

got as far as the semifinal. -- Bianca Walkden. She was beaten 4-1.

She'll go in the bronze medal match. We can show you as well... This is

her losing. So the bronze medal match will take place sometime

around 1am, we'll try to bring you that. Cho has gone out in the

semifinal. Beaten by his opponent from Azerbaijan. It'll be a bronze

medal match for him as well. Bianca will at 1am Camacho will go

at 1:15am. We will show you what happened in the canoe sprint. It's

been a good lake for Team GB for rowing and canoeing sprint. Liam

Heath already had a silver in the double event, today he was going for

gold in the men's single 100 metres, this is what happened.

Very exciting here at the Lagoon. The men's 200 metres. In lane five,

Liam Heath of Great Britain, the sizzling hot favourite for this

event. The speed he paddles that is quite sensational, anyone who gets a

good start is in with a shout out medals, we expect this to be close.

Away they go, watch out for Liam Heath. Not the best of starts. Four

from this side. He's looking to repeat Britain's success. Lane four.

Beaumont of France has the lead. The closing stages is when he succumbed

strong, but he's got work to do. 70 metres to go. Service closing stages

where Liam Heath is strong. Liam Heath has the lead, another 15

minutes to go -- 50 metres to go. Gold goes to Liam Heath. He came

here as the favourite, he will leave Rio as the Olympic champion. And the

most successful British Olympic paddler of all time. He has a gold,

a silver and bronze to his collection. He leaps from seventh to

the first in the tally of British paddlers. Sensational run. Out of

the Olympic champion sound? Incredible, it's been in my mind

every single day for the last four gears. I want to say a massive thank

you to everyone who's been supporting me, friends, family,

Johnny, my coach, Alex, all the support crew behind me. You've

become the most successful Olympian when it comes to canoe sprint

athletes for Great Britain. Exceeding Tim Robinson, what does it

mean to you? I hadn't really thought about it. I glimpsed it on Facebook

yesterday, try to keep away from my phone and stuff. -- Tim Brad

I look to those guys. Tim is one of my idols. I remember watching him

when was little. All the guys who have competed for Great Britain all

the years. I still look up to them, I still feel I need to achieve what

they've done. It's an absolutely incredible feeling.

APPLAUSE CHEERING

COMMENTATOR: Gold medal number 25 for Great Britain, great to see Liam

Heath notching up another gold. I'm delighted to say Liam is in the

studio along with John Scofield. 2-1 the silver medal with in the pairs.

Doing what all mates do and taking the Mickey out of Liam. Someone's

got to. Congratulations. That is when you said it's been in your mind

every day for four years. Is it something you wake up thinking about

and have lunch thinking about, go to bed thinking about? It's always in

the back of your mind, not always at the forefront, you've always got it

they're hedging you want to get you into training every day, crack of

dawn. Always at the back of your mind. Any Olympian says it isn't,

they are lying. It's always there. Is it the case if you go on holiday

for two weeks, you raised your eyes, I don't know whether he's gone on

holiday. Even then, can you put it to one side and it is if you're

having a break? It's very important to have a rest, you've got to relax,

recuperate your body. Every now and then. You do go away and you do have

drinks, a few cakes, a few deserts. In the back of your mind you think

you have to work this off, you have to pay for it. You do allow yourself

those little breaks. When working as a pair when you came back off

holiday, did you confess to each other how many jam tarts you'd had,

how many beers? You can tell. LAUGHTER

When you are a little bit skinnier, then round around the edges. You

have those holidays. To make yourself want it. When you come

back. Something like eating that cake on holiday, having beers, it's

to make sure you are mentally in the right headspace to hammer the next

however many weeks and achieve what you want to do. How have you been

watching him the last couple of days? Pretty nerve wracking, the

start didn't make it any easier to enjoy the racing, if you'd had a

great start he would have been had all the way. As it was he had a

confident start. It was amazing. Assess the race. We'll show it

again. You can talk us through. It's the second time I've seen it now. I

normally walk away. I got out the gate really good, this time, bit of

a headwind, it was going to be a longer race. I wanted to pace it

more. Keep the speed down on the last bit. Which has been a strength

this year in K2 and K-1. This point you have no clue where anyone is,

all you know is how far down you are. The boys change colour. When

you hit the last 50, I've been able to give it so much more towards the

line this season, really push. In your head as you do that you are

counting strokes? Yeah. It's something I've done ever since I

started. It's something subconscious as well. I'll be paddling along, all

of a sudden I've got a number in my head. What I've been paddling. It's

like 86-90 strokes down the race, you hit 45, you are halfway, 60-65,

50 metres left. Then the start you hit it hard, for eight strokes, I'm

not breeding the first eight strokes, after that, you start

getting the oxygen in, then setting up the rest of the race. Is that how

you are coached? Do you count as well? I don't count as well as him.

When you both get out do you different numbers? You do compare.

It's normally a competition between my head and the GPS. My technology.

A gymnastics coach thought one of the successes for Britain in a

variety of sports was the gym culture we live in at the moment

over the last five years, a lot of people say it's nothing to be a

barrister back, going to the gym, taking selfies, pumping weights. Do

you think it helps? Training in the gym? That... That we have the

culture around it, that we now have a fitness culture in the country to

a certain extent? Yeah, I think it helps a little bit. Certainly it

makes it acceptable to be a certain size, especially for the girls in

our squad, to be tall, athletic, muscular and strong, that's letting

more girls coming to the sport. It's not just a male preserve. You do

chin-ups with 90 kilograms do you? Yeah, little bit over that, but

yeah. That's roughly doing a chin up with me holding on to you. Don't

worry. I haven't got it set up in the studio! Hanging from the lights.

That's how you get strength? It's one key thing we've been working on.

Everyone thinks you paddle with your arms, I kind of disagree, that is a

big connection between you and the water. I tend to use my back more,

the legs and the trunk, to generate power. That I put down through the

puddles, through the boat into the water, to push the forwards. We've

been key on the chin-ups. It's just one chin, it's not multiple. Just

once. I stand there, do it, drop down. It's still more than most of

us can do. No wrecks with 90 kilograms tonight, you can eat and

drink whatever you want and not feel guilty about it, and enjoy what you

do in the future. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Maybe I'll try a chin up later. Let's talk football. Down there they

are obsessed about one gold medal in particular. That is the Brazil men's

football team winning Olympic gold. An Olympic gold they have never won.

And in the back of their mind is the 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World

Cup semifinal from a couple of years ago. Germany the opponents in this

final. Here's what happened in the first half.

COMMENTATOR: It's a decent effort against the frame of the goal by

Julian Brandt, who almost did silence the Maracana. Here comes

Neymar. It's in the back of the net! The darling of Brazil provides the

opening goal. And you can probably hear the roof on the Maracana is

starting to reverberate. Brazil ahead. 27 minutes. What a goal.

Truly outstanding from Neymar. The goalkeeper can't get anywhere near

it, it's the power and precision in off the crossbar. He couldn't get

it. Couldn't strike it any better, Neymar. What a super goal. To open

up what has been a very, very entertaining opening half an hour in

this Olympic gold medal match. What a goal that is from Neymar.

Against the frame of the goal again! Sven Bender flicked it goal bound

but could not score. So that is how the first half finish, this is live

now, it is still 1-0 to Brazil, there is a whole country on

tenterhooks, let us join our commentators. Since falling behind,

Germany have had the better of the possession, some wonderful chances,

they will feel that they ought to be level. This partisan Brazilian

crowd, they know that this game is far from done. The referee in a good

position there. I think if Brazil are to go on and win this, Augusto

is the key, he dictates the temple, he is always available for his

team-mates when they are in possession. I think he made a

mistake there but he got away with it. If there is one big difference

between a senior side and an under 23 site, it is the choices they make

a crucial times. Perhaps his decision was not the best to try and

go down a Brazilian cul-de-sac. Here is Gabriel Barbosa. His decision was

not the best. His -- he got away with that. Sule. Brilliant. Breaking

up the play, freeing up Gabriel Barbosa, but he wants to get back on

his left foot, could he go down the line, try and take Sule a run.

Becoming a little frenetic in the past few minutes. When Brazil get

into the final third, the expectation is buzzing around them

are,. With Germany get into the Brazilian final third, you can hear

screams and shouts of horror and fear among the Brazilian supporters.

-- Maracana. I am sure those emotions are mirrored up and down

this country. Here is Neymar. Could not find the intended target and

Germany again break down a Brazilian move. Good tackling. 70 No emerges

with that. The tackles flying them, superb to watch -- 79-macro. --

Walace. Many of these players prepare a week in week out, they

have a competitive league fixture and for them it is things like the

World Cup and the Euros or the copper America that matter. You

could be forgiven for thinking that this was not the focus of every

single player that we have watched tonight a gold medal match matters

enormously to those at there -- Copa America. They want their countries

to win tonight. Neither Germany nor Brazil have ever won a gold medal.

They have won nine World Cups between them, this is the only

significant international crown neither can burst. -- boast. Quite

content at the moment, Brazil, dropping very deep, allowing

pressure to be built upon them and Germany can be taken advantage of,

with all the possession that they are getting. Here is Toljan, plenty

forward from Germany, that was not good by Sven Bender, well tidied up

by Walace. It is only when you see the close-ups of some of these

players that you remember how useful they actually are. -- -- youthful.

Meyer. Sven Bender. Toljan. There is the equaliser that Germany have

threatened for so long. The captain of Germany cancels out the goal from

the captain of Brazil and if the warning signs were not apparent

before, they are most evident now, they deserved equaliser and they

have silenced the Maracana! It has certainly been coming, given away

from Marquinhos and as soon as Sven Bender picks up the ball, you can

see Toljan is on the move, always looking to get forward and he has

the presence of mind and awareness, just to pull it back in front of the

Brazilian defence and Max Meyer, real quality finish from him to

place it beyond 81-macro win gold. Superb finish. 200 billion

Brazilians are slumped in their various chairs -- Weverton. You can

probably hear the German supporters. Since they fell behind, Germany,

they have not got swept away by the incredible noise in the stadium.

They have not sunk in their belief that there was a way back into this

and they have merited their equaliser. They continue to pass an

probe. Brazil have aided them in some respects. They have dropped

deep, and allow the pressure to come upon them. But they have had the

chances, Germany, in the game. We talked about hitting the upright of

the goal on some occasions, Weverton has been called to make a few good

saves. It has been coming, excellent finish as well from Max Meyer. Sven

Bender, he was clean, but Neymar caught him. -- Lars Bender. I am not

sure if it is after the challenge goes in by Neymar. He may have

fallen awkwardly there. The emotions have changed dramatically. There was

a carnival atmosphere in the Maracana, Mexican waves breaking

out, cheering, singing, joy of unbridled... But the character of

this Germany side and the quality of that has been apparent ever since

they fell behind. We said we had a game on. We certainly have got. We

have had an excellent game, the first 60 minutes has been

outstanding. Brazil started very well. We spoke about Gabriel

Barbosa, Luan, Neymar da Silva Santos Junior... His knee goes

underneath him a little bit. They have got to try to get those players

into the game more. They are so dynamic will stop great movement,

great pace, they were causing Germany problems. They had such a

procession of opportunities in the semifinal against Honduras. We were

able to see their full repertoire. Germany have defended brilliantly

and I do not just mean that four defenders, I mean those in front as

well. A great effort from range, Augusto has spent much of his time

tidying up the back, but when released he is not a bad player

either. He has been the best player for Brazil, breaking up play when

Germany have been attacking. He does have the ability to pick out a pass

when he gets into advanced positions. An excellent strike.

Germany have had double the amount of the Thames on the Brazilian goal

than the Brazilians have had on the German goal. -- of the attempts. The

statistics bear out what your gut feeling was about this match. Cannot

remember too many attempts for Brazil, it took just one moment of

genius from a free kick for Neymar. Perhaps just one volley that Luan

hit straighter but I cannot think of another one. That was the only

chance they have created from open play. Luan, Gabriel Barbosa. The man

again. Half an hour ago, you could not hear

yourself think now you can hear some of the shouts from the players on

the pitch. Anxiety has taken over. With that anxiety on the pitch, they

have forced the patched -- Brazil are trying to force the passes.

Whereas the Germans, much more on an even keel, much more precision with

their passing. That is why they are getting the joy, Germany. Renato

Augusto tries to provide it! Apologies, it was Gabriel Jesus. I

think it is a goal kick. A super run from Renato Augusto. A brilliant run

from Gabriel Jesus, wonderful defending from Toljan, the man who

set up the German goal. It certainly should have been a corner. Lars

Bender is still struggling. That is an emotion of someone who knows he

will have to give in to the injury. It is a bad one, he knows. He is

distraught, absolutely distraught. If you were not aware how much this

match means to the players out there, the fact that Lars Bender is

practically in tears that he will have to come off the field, tells

how much he feels that he is going to miss out on something special.

Both Lars Bender and Sven Bender have had serious injuries in their

career. You hope it is not that serious. Lars Bender has a wealth of

Champions League experience. This is a huge occasion in his career, with

that gesture to the sideline, a change is imminent. He has got to

come off. Signalling again to the touchline. He tried to give Germany

the lead. Shot his block early. But through ball is good and the flag

stays down and here is Gabriel Barbosa trying to work an opening,

but excellent defending. They thought he was offside there, he is

looking to be assistant on the near side. They have to get Lars Bender

off now. Neymar skipping away him centrally. The change is imminent.

It is Promel coming on. 21 years old. It is the fourth time he has

come on as a substitute and he is very much like for like replacement

for the bitterly disappointed and tearful Lars Bender. Coaching the

midpoint of the second half, it is 1-1. A match that has been

everything, that all the pre-match hype was promising it would be. Two

very evenly matched sides. Plenty to admire from both. And we are locked

at one all. Still in play despite Brandt's best

efforts. This was the moment. He knew he was off-site, Gabriel

Barbosa, this is why he was looking at the assistant. Germany again.

Flicked away by Walace. Barbosa gives chase but Timo Horn is safely

out of his goal. In it goes to Neymar. That was a

flying challenge. Brazil have taken the free kick to hurriedly, they

weren't really set for that. Here come Germany.

Guilty a few times, Brazil, of playing the occasion, not the

football match. Here is Brandt again. Now Jeremy Toljan goes for

glory. And drags it wide. He had better options, didn't he, Toljan.

Good movement from Brandt, moving all the way from the right-hand

side. This is the goal again. Toljan with an excellent pull-back to pick

out Max Meyer. It was the controlled finish as well, allowing the ball to

come across, it the floor. He knows full well he is placing it away from

Weverton. He's taken off Barbosa and brings an Anderson. They play

Manchester United attempted to sign for big money a couple of transfer

windows ago. He only makes the bench today, such is the depth of quality

in this Brazilian side. Here is Luan, it goes towards Anderson, who

plays most of his club football wide on the right-hand side, where gone

now. So often they got into this position, Brazil, particularly after

getting the goal. All of the moves have broken down, Germany have

nullified any threat from Brazil. Walace, now Douglas Santos. Al

Cristo. -- they win a corner. It's significant

how often Renato Augusto is the pivot. He's had an excellent game.

He senses when they have been under the cosh and attacks have been

breaking down in the final third, he is deciding to step in a little bit

more, try to be more creative himself. By and large he has been

used as the holding midfielder who has broken up play and said the

attacks going forward. First Renato Augusto, now Neymar, tries to get

the Maracana buzzing once more. Off the head for another corner. Neymar

will deliver again. My Kenya squad a small touch on it.

Luan couldn't control it. Away by Toljan. Douglas Costa, that's neat

and tidy. Neymar... On it goes. Could that have been an miss timed

challenge in the box? The appeals weren't as vehement as perhaps we

thought they might have been. On the overlap from Augusto's challenge. He

bounced up immediately, didn't he, Nicholas Sule. Good first touch from

Luan. It is Sule, good decision from the referee, who was in a really

good position. He could easily have been fooled by that. Dare I say it,

even Neymar surely can't think about shooting from here, can he? Tell you

what, if this goes in, it's worthy of winning any match on any day.

Whatever's at stake. Neymar sensibly flicks it in and the header is bad

but Timo Horn stretches out. I didn't think Neymar could strike it

from there. You couldn't put it past him. Superb opener from him. I think

he knew he was out of range. A little stand up to the far post.

Excellent run. Trying to get his header across goal but it was too

much height. A little bit easy for Timo Horn to deal with. Much better

from Brazil the last five minutes. Coming back into the game.

This is Germany, reacting superbly to going one behind. Brazil have

reacted superbly to Germany getting the equaliser. Sule bringing it

forward for Germany. It's a decent ball in towards the run of Max

Meyer. Luan can't control it. Sven Bender.

Germany trying to make another change. Nils Petersen is warmed up

and ready. The Brazilian supporters whistling

every time Germany are on the ball, cheering when their team wins it

back. It's an awkward one but well dealt with by Timo Horn. He's got so

much pace, Gabriel Jesus, when he gets in full flight he is very

difficult to stop. It was he that committed the foul. This will give

the opportunity for the German manager to bring an Nils Petersen.

Maybe Selke is the man coming off and it's like for like change. In

the last game, the semifinal against Nigeria, he went with two up top and

the two of them combined for the decisive second goal. This time it

is a like-for-like alteration. Excellent finisher, as we saw in the

semi, he was floating around the far post waiting for an opportunity. He

didn't get too many but he finished it so well. Gabriel Jesus might have

committed the foul but he is the one who has stayed on the Texans. Now

requiring treatment. He was struggling prior to that. I hope

it's only a bit of cramp from his point of view. There was contact,

though. That's Manchester city's ?27 million man, Gabriel Jesus. This was

Neymar threading it through for Luan before. You can see Sule pulling

away the challenge. Luan going down. Good awareness from Sule, when he

goes to ground he knows that any contact with Luan committees going

over. I think he knew, himself, the referee was in a good position.

Immediately bounced back up. Good refereeing. Now then, on the

counter. Here is Neymar, look at that bursting run through for

Anderson. Good tackle. Cost and in the nick of time. Did he wait too

long? Yes, you did. Brilliant recovery run from Klosterman but

that is where Germany get caught out, when they sense the fullbacks

forward. Neymar goes for gold. A couple of feet beyond. I think he's

got a corner. Set himself brilliantly, Neymar. The turn on

Bender. Brilliant pace from Anderson, what a recovery run that

is. Excellent from Klosterman. He claimed a corner, Neymar, it was a

goal kick. Germany have made a real hash kick of getting it out from the

back. Here's Neymar again. You asked if Neymar took too long he should

have continued with the momentum going forward, took the strike on.

Just by delaying that strike it allowed Klosterman to get back. Full

credit to him, we've seen when defenders get in those positions

they don't have the awareness to TrackBack with that sort of pace.

Great defending from Klosterman but I think it was a really good chance

for Anderson to take the strike an early. Philip Anderson, one of the

senior members of the squad as well. -- Felipe Anderson. Straight down

the throat of Timo Horn. Starting to fashionable one or two openings,

Brazil. They are coming right back into the game, Brazil, never quite

set. Difficult to strike with any power. Half chance... It's bubbling

up nicely for a dramatic crescendo, this game. It's been a brilliant

gold medal match, it really has. In 11 minutes plus added time to go.

Extra time and penalties could be looming, but not if Brazil have it

their way. Gabriel Jesus never got the connection he was after. He

didn't, great awareness, brilliant touch from Felipe Anderson. Jesus

just didn't get hold of it, did he? Perhaps just rushed the striker a

little bit. Gabriel Jesus and Grischa Promel in

a tussle. For that he gets a yellow card. Looks like it might break for

Peterson for a moment. Toljan has been turned. The referee waves play

on. Here's Luan. Gabriel Jesus in a heap again but play goes on and

Neymar can't get it out from under his feet. Tries to bring in Felipe

Anderson. It does reach Felipe Anderson, Neymar on the far side

can't reach it, Luan keeps it alive. Klosterman. He took too long and

Felipe Anderson almost stole in. Brazil coming to life, excellent

play from Luan. Couldn't get the ball out of his feet, Neymar, to get

the strike away. Good awareness. Felipe Anderson, lovely little stand

up ball to the far post. Klosterman a little bit slow to react to that.

They can send it, the Brazilian supporters inside the Maracana. --

they can sense it. After a period in which they were second best and not

fashioning chances, they are now creating them aren't looking fitter

and stronger of the two sets of players. -- and are looking fitter

and stronger. Being driven on by the crowd. Walace with the header. Horne

gathers it up. They are feeding off the noise and the spirit of those

within the stadium. Nils Petersen. Took it down well.

Brings in Gnabry. Klosterman. Sule. Listen to the whistling because

Germany are in possession of the ball.

That's particularly wasteful and not like Germany. Good shape from

Brazil. This is the challenge from Bender on Jesus. Another yellow

card. We mentioned earlier he has committed a lot of fouls, Sven

Bender, tonight. Along with his brother before he went off injured.

I'm surprised it's taken so long for him to go in the book. Three German

players on yellow cards. Two Brazilians.

We're getting ever closer to this match being settled in extra time.

Maybe even from the penalty spot. Gabriel Jesus is pointing to a cut

on his forearm and saying that he was fouled.

It really has had everything, it has been competitive, dramatic, noisy.

There have been periods for Germany have been in control and you can

almost hear the screams and worry among the Brazilian supporters and

periods when Brazil have been in command and the noise has been

deafening. It has had all the air and flow of an Olympic gold medal

match and it looks as though we are going to get an extra half an hour

of it. It has been a superb game. Brazil in the first 20 or 25 minutes

were excellent but Germany have come right back into the game. Just over

six minutes to go. And the Maracana cramped capacity. Millions around

Brazil glued to their television sets. Hoping above any other gold

medal that their country has won, that their football team can prise

one from the hands of Germany. The side who knocked them out of the

World Cup two years ago, a World Cup Brazil were expected and wanted to

win more than perhaps any of the five previous ones they participated

in and won. There is 21-macro. Now Neymar, a

good ball, time for Zeca to pick someone out, but Matthaus got to

with an outstanding tackle -- Douglas Santos. Three German players

advancing, they have worked it well, here is Petersen and now Meyer drags

it. Really good run centrally. Excellent movement from Petersen. He

did not quite fancy hitting the cross with his left foot, good

breakaway for Germany. You can almost hear several thousand screams

there as Meyer hit the shot. Never quite set himself. That is the

threat that they do carry, Brazil have continuously sent more and more

bodies forward, but they do leave themselves exposed. There was a

chance, could Petersen have crossed it for Promel? Did well to get it

back to Max Meyer, always stretching, could not quite get the

shot on target. They should be OK to continue. Look at the concern on the

faces of the Brazilian fans and the joy on the face of the German fan

next to him. On the penultimate day of these

wonderful Olympic Games, and occasion that the fits the

significance of the gold medal match. 80,000 in the Maracana, the

two most successful footballing nations on earth competing, albeit

at the under 23 level. And although they have one macro every other

major honour in the game, neither can boast a gold medal -- won. It

looks as though we are heading towards extra time to settle it.

Neymar, blocked off by Promel. There was a late challenge, the referee

allows it to go because Germany are still in possession. Out came

Weverton. Good goalkeeping from Weverton. Hearts in mouth stuff for

Brazil there. Weverton was alert to danger. Sven Bender. Sule.

Marquinhos and now 20 Micheal Martin. -- Lukas Klostermann and now

Gnabry. Brazilian supporters cannot look when they get to the edge of

the penalty area. Here they come to the edge of the penalty area now.

Thumped away by Zeca. That is a free kick in the centre circle and

another yellow card is on its way. Gabriel Jesus has been in the wars

in the second half, but he keeps riding it out, this time it is Sule

in the notebook. Gabriel Jesus is very brave. He is always prepared to

go in for the challenges. He has had a rough path, a lot of challenges,

but he is still prepared to get up and run with the ball. It is a

breakaway there and I think that Sule knew that. Brazil have made one

change so far, Germany have made two, one of them forced after Lars

Bender picked up an injury. Here is Felipe Anderson, the only Brazilian

substitute on the field, his cross was a teaser. Walace Souza Silva

headset. It has taking something special from that range. You have

got Zeca getting forward, continued the flow of the attack. 79-macro

decided to go for glory, poor strike. -- Walace Souza Silva. We

are approaching stoppage time, at the end of 90 pulsating minutes in

the Maracana. Here is Felipe Anderson. And now Neymar. And you

can see what he was thinking, but he is not going to get to that, it is

Luan. Three minutes of added time, is there to be the ultimate twist in

the tail or will it be 30 extra minutes for a group of tiring

players? It is normally in these later stages of the game with those

tired legs that you get the mistakes that do lead to goals. I am sure

there will be more chances in this game as we do progress, if we do get

extra time and it will be largely down to the tired legs on the pitch.

It is not as hot as some days have been in Rio. It is still in the low

20s. Sticky and despite the drizzle, it is energy sapping. These players

are going to have to dig deep and we know there is going to be another

half and hour of action before this game is settled, it seems. It looks

as though Germany are quite happy to take it to extra time now. A good

run for 75 by pro, you have to say, but he dealt with it with great

dexterity -- Timo Horn. So often you see goalkeepers in that position,

come out and panic. The duo he was under pressure, but calmly played it

out. I think it was Sule in the end. Into the final minute of added time

at the end of the gold medal match at the Maracana. Brazil went ahead

with a goal from Neymar, cancelled out with a gold from Max Meyer. Here

is Felipe Anderson. Now Neymar, deflection, corner, it is their --

is there to be one last chance? Again he decided to take the strike

on, Neymar. Very difficult strike to take, so many boys in front of him.

I think it was Douglas Santos who made a great run. I think he should

have picked him out. Neymar drives it in, easily by Petersen, to a

chorus of groans from thousands in the Maracana. And the referee brings

the 90 minutes to its conclusion. We are to have extra time, Brazil

leading at half-time through a Neymar free kick special, Germany

merited an equaliser and it was no surprise when it came, the German

captain, Max Meyer, providing it, and it will be extra time that

settles or perhaps even penalties, the gold medal match. It is

obviously a very nervous Maracana, and very nervous, but cabana behind

me as well, very quiet, not many people around, they are cramming

into the bars and restaurants to watch the game. They yearn for this

Olympic gold medal in the men's football. Whilst they get themselves

ready for extra time, we are going to hear from Tom Daley. Yesterday he

had a great heat in the diving as he finished first in the 10m platform,

to go into the semi-finals, however today it all went run as in those

semi-finals he finished 18 out of 18. He was upset afterwards

understandably as he spoke to Helen Skelton. We can see what it means to

you. What happened? I have worked so hard these past four years to get to

this point. Yesterday, I got an Olympic record, the highest scorer

in an Olympic Games and today it was not there to be and that is what

diving does sometimes. I truly am heartbroken. I feel like I am in

peak physical condition and I could really go out there and could have

won tonight. It is really hard to accept how it went today. Your

team-mates would argue that this is the most stressful sport, the most

high pressure and add to that, your profile and the expectation, what is

going through your head when you're on that board? I am completely

present in the moment, enjoying each moment as I get to do it. Today,

things were not clicking. I was given it my all and I was so up for

it, training beforehand was good, in the competition it fell apart. Those

other guys today did absolutely amazing and I am so happy with the

way that the whole of Team GB have done. I am so proud to be part of

the team and how everyone else has done so amazingly well. I just

wanted to be able to stand on top of the podium and replicate something

last night. It was not meant to be. Another four years of hard work to

come. It did not feel any different, I felt good in myself. I guess my

mind and body were not connecting. I knew that I had a shot at the last

I'd still if I really went after it. I needed 102, basically 9.5 and

tense and I give it by all but it did not happen. It did happen last

week. You have got yourself one bronze medal. It is not a right of.

Pretty successful. I am really happy. After 2012, I came away with

a bronze medal and so far here, we got our bronze medal in the

synchronised diving. I wanted to get that Olympic gold medal. The result

was another four years. Tokyo is definitely on your sites?

Definitely. Even more than ever now. You have done so much for the sport

and you have an Army of fans, I can see why you are upset, but do not be

too hard on yourself. It is heartbreaking. It is the Olympic

Games, those five rings on the wall mean so much to me, to be not in the

final, to get the shot to go for the medal, it is heartbreaking. It is a

good story for Tokyo. You know films, it gives us a better

narrative. Exactly. I will give it my best shot and work even harder

than ever before. And my list of athletes I want to hug at these

Olympics get longer. The winner was Aisen Chen who won by over 15

points. The Mexican took the silver medal and the American took the

bronze medal. They are still getting ready in the

Maracana for extra time. We're going to bring that to you live. And then

later we'll all be watching this man.

# You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time

# Run-on for a long time, sooner or later going to cut you down

# Sooner or later got to cut you down

# Go tell that long tongue liar, go tell that midnight Rider

# Tell them that God's going to cut them down

#. Mo Farah goes for the double double in the men's 5000 metres at

1:30am. They are ready to go in the Maracana. Brazil want this to be a

very positive 30 minutes they can get their hands on Olympic gold.

Alistair mine and Kevin Kilbarchan commentate.

COMMENTATOR: These met in the semifinal stage and Brazil won on

penalties before they went on to lose the gold medal match. Kevin

alongside me. What is your gut feeling about this one? Such a

difficult one to call. I'd go with Brazil simply because the home crowd

that is with them, the momentum has been with them towards the end of

the game. If they can take that through to extra time, of course,

with the quality of Neymar and the like in the Brazilian side going

forward, they might have enough. They could put this to bed in extra

time. It's been such an even contest, you just hope it'll be a

moment of genuine inspiration, as opposed to a moment to forget for

one of these players. Renato Augusto is fouled. He's certainly been my

man of the match, I think Kevin's as well. Yeah, superb performance from

him. He's had to play a lot of the game, particularly normal time, on

the back foot a little bit, stopping the German attack when they got into

the final third. He's always been prepared to step in when his won the

ball and start the Brazilian attack going forward. The Brazilian coach

Rogerio Micale has two substitutions available to him. Horst Hrubesch the

German coach only one, that could still be a factor. The Flacco stay

down, here's Gabriel Jesus. The noise around the Maracana. Can't get

it beyond Sule, who is fouled by Jesus. That was an opening. Great

first touch from Jesus as well, excellent ball from Douglas Santos

to spot the opportunity there. Good Jesus have gone on to his left foot?

He's wanting to come he's tried to do it, it's good defending from Sule

to stop the flow of that attack. A good chance, though, for Brazil. We

could hear the cries of hope, the willing of everybody in the stadium,

that Gabriel Jesus might put that in the back of the net. Thank goodness,

if this does go to a penalty shoot out, you can only imagine the

emotions around the stadium. Only three minutes into extra time at the

moment. Brazil 1-1 Germany, neither country having won a gold medal

before. Five World Cups won by Brazil. Four by Germany. Eight

finals for Germany, making them the most successful team apart from

Brazil in the Fifa World Cup at senior level. Three silvers for

Brazil is the best they've ever managed. Two bronze for Germany, the

best they've ever managed. It's been a wonderful contest, this. Had a

case for a foul there, Nils Petersen, but the wrong side of

Marquinhos. I don't think the referee wanted to give a penalty

against Brazil at such a stage of the match.

They have to do something out of the ordinary for him to give a penalty

in this atmosphere. I think there was slight contact, Petersen did go

over very easily. Once he got on the wrong side of Marquinhos, he's in

trouble then, the Brazilian defender. Roderigo Caio. Well

defended once again by Klosterman. Max Meyer. He took his goal

brilliantly, the first goal Brazil have conceded in the entire

tournament, when he levelled account. Ginter. You can see Brazil

are about to make a second change. A foul. Gabriel Jesus, who is

noticeably hobbling. That was high, fat, from Jesus. I think he's

injured himself in the process. He's taken a number of hefty blows,

Gabriel Jesus. It's not a surprise to see it is he who is having to

make way. Can't fault his effort from his commitment. He's only 19

years old. Manchester city have bought themselves a player there. I

think he'll go on to be an excellent signing for Manchester city. His

tiredness has caught up with him. Rafinha has come on in his stead.

Driven away by Brazil in a dangerous area. Meyer on towards Brandt. Good

interception by Douglas Costa, the pad is excellent. Luan onside.

Neymar looking to join in. Still with Luan, but there were two maybe

three Germany defenders in the way. Toljan I think it was that made the

block. They've been caught out a few times, Germany, we spoke about

Brazil being vulnerable to the counterattack, that time Germany

sending bodies forward too early. Could Luan have picked out Neymar

once he checked inside? Good chance for Brazil. Here's Douglas Santos.

Now Neymar. Tries to threaded through. To Felipe Anderson. Can't

quite manage it. Caio. Now Augusto. Rafinha. Germany come forward with

Petersen. Brandt on the far side is the intended target. Brandt! That

would have been magnificent. A heartbreaker perhaps for Brazil, but

a moment of genuine quality. It's superb from Max Meyer initially.

Once the diagonal ball comes in he never really trusted himself on his

left foot, he wanted to take the strike with his right. This is the

chance for Luan. Excellent forward ball, positive pass, as soon as he

comes in here, could he pick out Neymar, could he have passed it to

Neymar, in a better position? I think he should. Glorious chance for

Brazil. The chances are coming. The legs are

noticeably wilting on a number of the players. Fatigue, both mental

and physical, playing its part now. Renato Augusto. Trying to change the

angle of the play, headed away by Klosterman. Here's Gnabry. He's

dispossessed by Marquinhos. A second time the substitute is

involved. the tempo of this game is

relentless, both sides trying to force the issue, lots of tired legs.

It could be a mistake, a vital mistake, that could cost the team in

this match. Got to keep your concentration in these late stages.

The nervousness around the Maracana is palpable. You can only imagine

them up and down this enormous country, people crammed into their

living rooms, in bars, on the beach as well, I'm sure. Just hoping and

praying their side can win the gold medal that the whole country wants

more than any other. The football gold medal.

Patients from Germany. Away by Timo Horn. Looking towards Petersen.

Caio. Beginning to raise the noise levels

now, the Brazilian supporters. Helped on by Douglas Santos. Here's

Rafinha. Douglas Santos again. Neymar, good tackle.

Taking on Brandt, getting the better of him, manages to find Rafinha, who

I'm sure wasn't the intended recipient of the ball. Germany again

set up perfectly despite us being in the 101st minute of the game. They

are unable to get bodies forward in support in the attack. Rafinha

looking to get the cross away. Only one player who can hit centrally.

Most of the Brazilian players are circulating around the edge of the

penalty area. It is, without doubt, one of the most iconic football

grounds in the world. Famous throughout the footballing world.

The Maracana. The home of the World Cup final two years ago, where

Germany lifted a World Cup that was supposed be won by the hosts,

Brazil, but wasn't. It has all accentuated the significance of why

this gold-medal match has been watched by everyone right across the

country. Less than four minutes to go of the first period of extra

time. Brazil 1-1 Germany. Here's Walace. Good ball. Picked off by

Sule. The Brazilian supporters, those who can bear to watch through

their fingers, trying to raise the noise levels, trying to transmit

some of their hopes and dreams to the players out there, who are

ostensibly under 23 years of age. There won't be many players within

these two sides that will have played in many better atmospheres

than this, superb atmosphere, they have to draw from that. Certainly

the Brazilian players themselves have to draw off the crowd, try to

push themselves on. The coaches doing what they can to inspire. One

change each still available to both. Douglas Santos, 22 years old. Plays

it to Caio, 23 years old, of Sao Paulo. To the 22-year-old from

Santos. Youthful players in the biggest match of their lives. That's

one out for a goal kick. Walace, aged 21. If you look carefully,

there are a few German supporters. Kicked away by Timo Horn. Out for a

Brazilian throw. The Brazilians are trying to press for words. But the

German defence under pressure. There are still quite content to keep the

ball, move the ball slowly across the back four and use the goalkeeper

who is very good with his feet. Gnabry, 21 years old. Timo Horn has

said when he comes back to the Emirates, he will go out on loan but

not before he has signed a contract extension. Who is going to emerge as

their hero? Let us hope it is a hero and not a villain. Here is Zeca. The

referee brings the first period of extra time to an end, not too many

chances, but I guess it would be unfair to expect a level of

intensity that has come before it. The tension is still palpable. The

teams are locked at 1-1, who is going to win the gold medal match?

And we will bring you that second-half of extra time very

shortly. They will take on their fluids and then they will get back

under way. Still a very quiet and very tense on the beach. Hardly

anyone around at all. Anyone who is walking around tends to have an

Argentina shirt on and they are not necessarily interested in watching

Brazil against Germany. We have a big night of live sport still to

come on BBC One. The final night in the Olympic Stadium of the

athletics, the highlight from a British point of view, the men's

5000 metres at half past one, Mo Farah going for a double 00 already

having claimed the men's 10,000 metres and before that, Lynsey Sharp

will go in the women's 800 metres final were the favourite will be the

South African and everything rounds of which the men's four by 400 m

relay which unfortunately will not have Great Britain in since they

were disqualified. The tae kwon do bronze matches will be on BBC Four.

The ankle first followed by Mahama Cho. Back to the Maracana for the

second half of extra time -- Bianca Walkden. You can probably sense the

amount of tension, anxiety, nervousness among those watching.

You can only imagine the similar emotions doubling under the surface

of the players as well. Here is Zeca. Charged down by Klostermann.

Helped on by Brandt. Good tackle by Douglas Santos. It has been an

incredible pace this match. You think it would have died down a

little through that first period of extra time, but if anything it has

continued in the same vein. A lovely ball and here is Felipe Anderson.

I'd save by Timo Horn! Neymar involved inevitably. Look at that

little reverse pass, it is outstanding. Good stop. Excellent

stop from Timo Horn. Great awareness from Neymar. It is that movement.

This time it is Felipe Anderson and he tries to take the strike with his

right foot, instead of perhaps going with his left. Brazil corner and

Timo Horn, he gets away with it, brushes it off the top of his

fingertips. All that happens at the end of that is that Germany get a

throw. He has to stay on his feet there, Marquinhos, he did so well to

win the ball back. Looking for a free kick but he was never going to

get it. A lot of noise as that pass went through to Felipe Anderson.

Throughout Brazil, they hoped that might be the moment that this match

was settled in their favour. It was not to be. Stretching a little bit.

Would have had a better angle to try and take the strike on his left. He

had a really great spell in the middle third of the match, either

side of half-time. To the moment they equalise, really, and then

after that they have not really fashioned too much. You could say

the same for Brazil, until they scored, they were well on top and

then Germany came back into it. Since the German equaliser, Brazil

have created better chances. Felipe Anderson has been pivotal in that

and has won another corner. Blocking and happy in a way to concede the

corner. They are doing what they can. To inspire their players on the

pitch. Another good header away, this time, Matthias Ginter. That was

very pure. Trying to look for the man out wide, Brazil had so many

bodies essentially, could he have put the ball into a more central

position to try and create an opportunity. The coaches cannot do

too much, the fans can do even less. Knocked on by Petersen, away by

Marquinhos and it breaks for Brandt. Good tackle by Rafinha. Here is

Felipe Anderson. Headed away by Klostermann. Luan. Tries to guide it

into words Neymar. Headed away by Sule. Zeca. -- in towards. Brazil

are dominant, Germany just trying to repel them, keep their shape, keep

their focus. Maybe in their minds, they might have mentally settled for

penalties. Here is Douglas Santos, now Felipe Anderson. Neymar,

position from which to strike. He got underneath it. You would not put

it past him, scoring from that range. Offers himself good first

touch, bad execution, he had enough bodies ahead of him, could he have

picked out a better path going forward? 28 attempts between the two

sides, this tells you what type of game we have had today. Plenty of

opportunities, the frame of the goal hit on three occasions, some good

goalkeeping by Weverton initially and then Timo Horn, even as recently

as extra time. It looks as though it might well be penalties, can you

believe it? That will settle this gold medal match. Nine minutes of

extra time to go, though. I am not so sure how the Brazilian public

will be able to deal with a penalty shoot out here.

Listen to the whistling because Germany are in possession of the

ball. The Brazilian players then try to close them in and force them to

hit it a bit longer. Breaks for Brandt. Good from Toljan. Cave.

Gnabry to his left. Here is Gnabry. Tackle and a huge roar to greet that

tackle, Neymar does not have the energy and he might well have cramp

-- Klostermann. I think that is what it is, the tiredness letting them,

he knows he has got too much pace for Sven Bender. There is no energy

left in those legs. They are physically drained but more

significantly they are emotionally drained as well. Yes. Brazil began

the tournament with two goalless draws and as the flag goes up,

against Neymar, their volume of criticism and the amount of column

inches in the Brazilian newspapers about the fact that they began with

two goalless draws, just shows you how much this competition has meant

to the Brazilian public and the Brazilian media. They have had

success, they have won gold medals in the Olympics, either from their

women or men or both, it was the football gold medal but they wanted

above any other. And that is why there has been such scrutiny upon

those out on the football field. Tired legs. Here is Toljan, it

almost broke momentarily, you could hear the screams from many of the

Brazilian supporters. Everyone is hopping around now, Sven Bender has

cramp in his hamstrings, Neymar has cramp in his calves. They are all

gritting their teeth. It is worth remembering that the German

Bundesliga season has not even started yet! The Spanish season has

only just got underway for Neymar and Rafinha. They have a whole ten

months ahead of them, all that is some distance away at the moment,

because this is all about winning a prize gold medal. Now then, here is

Meyer. Great block from Gnabry. Relief among the Brazilian

supporters. Superb challenge from Augusto. He has done so well in this

match. The referee's block was greeted as if it was a goal that

sells the tournament. It is the first real site that Germany have

had in extra time. There are going to make their final change. Max

Christiansen comes on. He wants to come on. Sven Bender does not want

to come off! He does not want to miss out on the remaining five

minutes like his brother had two in normal time through injury. And Max

Christiansen stays off the field as Felipe Anderson comes around the

back, a brilliant tackle from Toljan. It is a free kick to

Germany. You cannot underestimate what a great challenge that was. He

knows as well when he goes to ground, he has to win the ball,

because any contact with Felipe Anderson, there he is going up, it

is a penalty. A tremendously timed challenge from Toljan. Sven Bender

would not come off. There he is in the corner of your picture. He does

not want to miss out on the remaining few minutes and if

necessary, he wants to take the responsibility from the spot. He

refused to give way to the severe cramp in his legs. Here is Gnabry.

Now Promel. He looks very uncomfortable, Sven

Bender, in midfield. You mention that cramp bearer. I think he is

just running on a memory at the moment. Trying to occupy some space,

will he have enough energy to take a penalty? I am sure he will

volunteer. He is made of sterner stuff, Sven Bender.

Evidence in front of your very eyes that Germany now think the only way

they are going to win this gold-medal is through the penalties.

I suppose it's a 50-50 shot, isn't it? The motions on the faces of

everyone within the Maracana is probably mirrored throughout the

entire country. Neymar... It's blocked, the shot, from Rafinha.

Klosterman again getting back. Good challenge again from the German left

back. Hands-on heads of Alcantara, nicknamed Rafinha. The corner to

Brazil. Luan will swing it in. Renato Augusto will keep it alive.

Now with Neymar. Two minute of extra time, that's all

that remains. Good turn away by Brandt, it must be outside. It was a

great run from Brandt, think he wanted the ball played early,

Gnabry, that is why he set off. He knew he was offside. It was just the

most brilliant run from Brandt. Hearts back into the mouths of the

Brazilian supporters. Felipe Anderson can't get around Gnabry.

Away by Klosterman. Excellent ball from Neymar to free up Felipe

Anderson. Gnabry tracking back. Putting so much work into night,

Gnabry, not necessarily always going forward as well. Renato Augusto,

Douglas Santos. It's not a bad ball. Headed away, though. Gathered in by

Renato Augusto. Douglas Costa stand it up again. Terrific header away.

Brazil ending extra time in German territory. Can they provide a final

twist? No, they can't. Timo Horn has it. I'm sure he will take as long as

he is possibly permitted. When this ball reaches the Brazilian half, the

referee will blow his whistle. He looked at his watch and decided

against it. Another look at the watch from the referee. Is there

time to fashion one final opening? No, there's not. The Olympic Games

is almost coming to its conclusion. And before it does, a penalty shoot

out will decide whether the host nation are going to win a gold medal

in the Maracana Stadium. Germany and Brazil, the two sides who met in the

semifinal of the Fifa World Cup two years ago, when Germany broke

Brazilian hearts and humiliated them, knocking them out of their own

World Cup. The Brazil redemption. If it's going to come, it's going to be

via penalty shoot out. Brazil 1-1 Germany. The drama is palpable. But

it's going to extend to a shoot out. There isn't much the coaches can do

other than look in the eyes of the players in front of them and decide

who looks as though they are mentally attuned to hitting one of

these penalties. Surely, Kevin, varies more pressure, more

responsibility, not the Brazilians than the Germans. Spot on with that,

I've been in this position in a major tournament in a penalty shoot

out situation. You know, you've got to believe in yourself, in your

technique. As you say, when the manager looks you in the eye you

have to stand up to be counted. That's what both managers will be

doing with both sets of players. You've just got to believe in

yourself when you step up. Everywhere you look there are fizzy

owes and medical staff trying to get the cramp out of the legs. I guess

after 120 minutes and after a long tournament there's bound to be

muscular problems, strains. How can you overcome that to get enough

energy to put the ball beyond the goalkeeper? You mentioned with Sven

Bender, he was being substituted committee signalled the bed she

didn't want to come off, he was suffering badly with cramp. Neymar

suffering with cramp. -- signalled to the bench he didn't want to come

off. These are vital moments to get yourself prepared physically, try to

get a quick massage if you can with the medical team that you have

around you. Get yourself prepared. Physically, first and foremost. Then

the mental side takes over when you step up to take the penalty. The two

captains are the two goal-scorers so far. Neymar setting Brazil alight

with a free kick. That was simply exquisite. The equaliser from Max

Meyer. A well worked move, tucked away, deservedly so. It's going to

be a penalty shoot out. That's going to settle this much anticipated

match. Let's hope that whoever it is doesn't blast it over the bar, let's

hope it's a magnificent save that brings this penalty shoot out to an

end. You'd hate to think it was a dreadfully hit penalty into road 24,

wouldn't you? That's what it is, that's what it's coming down to. --

somebody has to be the villain in many respects, within this. It's

been a great gold-medal match to watch, superb game to watch.

Someone's got to lose it. They'll be saying to each other, don't worry.

Whatever you do, don't start to think as though you're going to be

the villain. Who's going to be the hero? We'll find out. STUDIO:
