SAO PAULO (AP) — Neymar scored his first goal of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Saturday, giving Brazil a 2-0 win over Colombia and a spot in the semifinals of the men's soccer tournament.
Neymar scored from a free kick in the 12th minute, sending a right-footed shot through the wall and into the lower right corner of the net. Luan added the second in the 83rd at the Arena Corinthians with a shot from outside the area, keeping alive Brazil's hopes of winning the soccer gold medal for the first time.
The game, a sort of rematch from the 2014 World Cup quarterfinals, was heated from the start, with hard fouls from both teams.
