Rio 2016: Brazil Win First Ever Olympic Football Gold Medal.

Brazil claimed a first ever Olympic football gold medal with victory over germany on penalities at rio's maracana.

The 5-4 shoot out win exacted revenge for a humailiating 7-1 world cup semifinal defeat to germany two years ago.

Olympic gold was the only major title to have escaped five time world champions brazil in their history.

This is one of the best things that have happened in my life neymar said.

In honour of the retiring sprinting great neymar even adopted the lightning bolt celebration whilst chants of ole ole ole neymar rang around rio's most iconic arena.

however germany captain max meyar enjoyed a special celebration of his own as he tauted the raucous 78,000 crowd at the maracana by kissing the number seven on his shirt.
