Neymar opened the scoring just 15 seconds in–the fastest goal in Olympic history–and tallied a penalty in the dying moments of the second half, while also adding two assists. Gabriel Jesus scored twice in the first half and Marquinhos and Luan added to the rout, which vaults Brazil into Saturday's final against Germany–two years after Germany's 7-1 destruction of Brazil in the World Cup semifinals.
Captain Neymar made a statement for the Seleção from the start, pressuring center back Johnny Palacios off the opening kick. He won the ball, had goalkeeper Luis Lopez come sliding out to try and clear it, only to have it hit off Neymar and trickle into the goal.
