Mexico bags the Gold in Olympics Final against the overwhelming favourites Brazil


            
             Five times world champion the overwhelming favourites Brazil once again failed to pick the gold in Olympics football, they yielded to Mexico by 1-2 margin, Oribe Peralta scored twice in either half of the match. The Olympics once again denied the best footballing nation once again. Mexico stunned the crowd at Wembley to pick their first gold in Olympics football. After 1984 & 1988 another final loose for Brazil in Olympics football.
             Mexico deserved to be the winner at Wembley they got their first goal just after the kick off following a poor defending of Brazilian defender Rafael, Oribe  Peralta of Mexico scored the fastest goal of the Olympics history in the 29th seconds of the match, he scored once again in the 75th minute & secure the gold for his side, there was another desperate attempt by Brazilian No. 12 Hulk, but he could score one goal in the dying moments of the game & minimize the deficit only.
             The most of the match was dominated by the solid defenders of Mexico which forced Neymar complete off color in the match & few faults like school boys in Brazilian defence made the situation easier for the Mexican side. It can be said Brazilian side is never known for their defence but there was a visible lack of penetration in their attacking third also.
             Questions will arise regarding the poor tactics of the Brazilian coach Mano Menzes why he did not start with Hulk & Alexandro Pato from the beginning minutes ? In the other hand Mexican coach Luis Fernando Tina showed supremacy of composing his defenceline from the beginning, its time for Brazilian Football Federation to think about Mano Menzes regarding the upcoming 2014 World Cup 2014 in their homesoil.
