fter a goalless first half Argentina came out swinging, racking up a
two-goal lead before the hour mark thanks to 'Kun' Agüero. A late
Riquelme penalty and red cards for Lucas and Neves left Dunga's Brazil
utterly helpless as they now face up to yet another Olympics without
the gold.
However the team in yellow may feel somewhat aggrieved
at the scoreline, given that at 2-0 and eleven men per side they had
what appeared to some to be a valid goal disallowed for offside. In any
case, though, the albiceleste are back in the final as they attempt to
defend their title.
Full report to follow.
