		</div><p>Brazil finally had their chance to exact sweet revenge on Germany after winning their first football gold on penalty kicks – clinched by none other than Neymar.</p>
<p>Two years ago, Brazilians suffered a humiliating defeat as World Cup hosts after losing 1-7 against their German counterparts.</p>
<p>As the teams met again in the final at Rio’s Maracana Stadium, Neymar scored in the 27th minute as Brazil took a 1-0 lead in the battle for gold.</p>
<p>Then Max Meyer scored the equaliser for Germany in the 59th minute and with both sides failing to score after that, the match went to a penalty shoot-out.</p>
<p>With Nils Petersen missing the fifth German penalty, it was all down to Neymar to score – and he did.<br />
It was a pretty emotional moment:</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Neymar celebrated his first goal in the Olympic final with a homage to Bolt.</p>
<p>After scoring the opening goal, Neymar immediately struck Bolt’s famous celebratory pose:</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/image-124.jpeg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/image-124-767x1024.jpeg" alt="neymar jr, Brazil" width="640" height="854" class="alignleft size-large wp-image-96002" /></a></p>
<p>Bolt, a big football fan who has often said he’d love to play for Manchester United, is also an admirer of the Brazilian star.</p>
<p>Neymar, by the way, is pretty fast, too. He scored in 15 seconds into Brazil’s semi-final match against Honduras for the fastest goal in Olympic history.</p>
