Brazil defended their Olympic men's football title after beating Spain in a dramatic extra-time victory over Spain at the International Stadium Yokohama on Saturday night.

Head coach of the Brazilian Olympic men's football team Andre Jardine and forward Matheus Cunha shared their impressions during a press conference on Sunday.

"We can't find words to describe, because it is a very heavy shirt, with a lot of history. The Brazilian people, all of you, have big expectations but this is a pleasure and we are very proud. We know that our families are proud. And to make history becoming champions, is something no one else takes from us," said Jardine.

Matheus Cunha, who scored Brazil's opener after Richarlison missed a penalty shot, but Mikel Oyarzabal equalised the score for Spain in the second half. However in the second extra time the substitute Malcom from Russia's club Zenit Saint Petersburg scored the second and decisive goal to hand Brazil the gold medal.

Five years ago, in Rio de Janeiro, the Selecao won gold in mens' football on home soil in dramatic penalty shootout against Germany, as superstar Neymar had scored the winning kick.
