RIO 2016's KEVIN DARLING AT THE MARACANA
We will have penalties, and a groan of exasperation and apprehension greeted the final whistle. Brazil have suffered too many Olympic Games heartbreaks for their fans to be confident here.

In Neymar, it's Brazil who have the player with the most big-game experience.
DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE
Tied 1-1 after full time and then extra... we're going to penalties at Maracana.

Brazil responded well to that German equaliser and dominated the last 30 minutes, but poor finishing has cost them. Gabriel Jesus, Felipe Anderson, Luan and the substiuted Gabriel Barbosa have all missed good chances. While the fans will be anxious that the team don't come to rue that profligacy, Brazil are on top. They still believe.
