Spain is the men's soccer Olympic champion for the first time in 32 years.

Spain overcame a stunning comeback attempt from France as Sergio Camello scored twice in extra time to seal a 5-3 gold medal victory Friday at the 2024 Paris Games.

France was first to score during the gold medal match thanks to a goal from Enzo Millot in the 11th minute.

Spain responded by scoring three goals in ten minutes. These included back-to-back strikes by Fermín López, who will finish his debut OIympics with six goals in as many games.
