There's your first goal! Brazil are 1-0 ahead of South Korea in this Olympic semifinal. The play started with Neymar and Sandro applying heavy pressure at the midfield, and eventually the ball broke forward for Brazil. That left Oscar running at the Korean defence, with Neymar to his left and Leandro Damiao just ahead of him.
Brazil Vs. South Korea, 2012 Olympics: Romulo Gives Brazil 1-0 Lead
The banks of red shirts collapsed inwards, protecting Lee Bum-Young’s goal from those three threats. But none of those were options were in Oscar’s plans.
