Tokyo 2020 men’s football: Richarlison inspires Brazil
Everton forward Richardson performed a hat-trick in the first half and Brazil began their Olympic journey with a 42-game victory over Germany. In the replay of the 2016 Olympic gold medal match, although Matthew Scuna had a stop penalty, the defending champion still dominated. Richarlison grabbed a rebound in 7 minutes, then went home for the second time in 30 minutes and curled his third.
The German team fought more after the intermission. Nadim Amiri and Ragnar Archer scored 32 goals, which made the Brazilian team nervous.
But Bayer Leverkusen striker Paulinho performed well in stoppage time, scoring 42 points, allowing the game to surpass the Germans.
Also in Group D, AC Milan midfielder Frank Casey scored in Côte d’Ivoire’s 21st win over Saudi Arabia.
Pedri failed to motivate Spain against Egypt
Earlier, Spain drew without the ball against Egypt in the first match of the men’s game, despite the inclusion of the young European player Pedri in 2020.
A frustrating result for the Spanish team was that Real Madrid’s Daniel Ceballos injured his ankle while trying to break through Egypt.
Ceballos left with everything and hit the post in the first half.
Former West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi (Ahmed Hegazi) played a key role in keeping Spain out.
Along with Pedri, several members of the Spanish team for Euro 2020 attended the game. Mikel Oyazabal, Danny Olmo, Paul Torres and Eric Garcia are all in the starting lineup middle.
Spain was eliminated from the European Cup by champions Italy on a penalty kick in the semifinals.
France fiasco, Chris Wood made history
The French Olympics started disastrous when Mexico lost 41 points.
The best chance of tension in the first half fell to Diego Linez, but his shot was sent off the line.
