Rio 2016: Neymar, Gabriel Jesus fire Brazil into final

Brazil is one win away from its first Olympic football gold medal after comfortably beating Honduras at the Maracana.

Neymar and Gabriel Jesus inspired Brazil to a 6-0 win over Honduras to reach the final of the Rio 2016 men's football tournament, with Rogerio Micale's men now just one win away from the country's first gold medal in the sport.

The hosts endured a difficult start to the tournament as they were held to 0-0 draws by South Africa and Iraq, but have been firing on all cylinders ever since - seeing off Denmark and Colombia - and they were once more in impressive form on Wednesday.
