Thirty golds are up for grabs on Saturday, the penultimate day of the Rio Games, with Brazil looking to crown their party with a first Olympic football gold.
Star striker Neymar is poised to light up Rio's famed Maracana Stadium as Brazil seek to avenge their traumatic 7-1 World Cup semi-final humiliation at Germany's hands two years ago.
The Barcelona forward missed that infamous clash in Belo Horizonte through injury and coach Rogerio Micale insists the two games have nothing in common.

"The final has nothing to do with that match. It is a different time, different game, different players."
The track and field programme ends with seven golds.
