Rio 2016: We can control Neymar - Pinto

Brazil star Neymar is causing headaches for Honduras coach Jorge Luis Pinto ahead of their Rio Olympics clash.

Honduras coach Jorge Luis Pinto is confident his team can "control" Neymar in a Rio Olympics semifinal against Brazil.

Neymar is under pressure to deliver the host nation football gold, an achievement that has eluded the country in its history. The Barcelona star and his teammates meet Honduras in the last four on Wednesday, with Nigeria and Germany in the other semifinal.

Pinto, also Los Catracho's senior team boss, said he is considering how to deal with Neymar.
