A thrilling victory

Spain captured their first Olympic men’s soccer gold medal since 1992 after a dramatic 5-3 victory over host France in an extra-time thriller at the Parc des Princes.

Spain trailed 2-1 in the first half before scoring three goals in a 10-minute span to take a commanding lead. France fought back to tie the game late in the second half, but Spain held on to win in extra time.

The victory completes a remarkable summer for Spain, who also won the UEFA European Championship in July. It is their first Olympic gold medal in men’s soccer since the Barcelona Games in 1992.
