PARIS, Aug 10, (Xinhua): Sergio Camello scored two goals in extra time to help Spain beat France 5-3 to win the men's football gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
Camello, who came on in the 83rd minute, finished the pulsating match with his second goal of the game after he was put on a solo run by a long pass from Spain goalkeeper Arnau Tenas in the first minute of extra time.

His deft lob made it 4-3 for Spain in the 100th minute when a pass from teammate Adrian Bernabe found him unmarked in front of France goalkeeper Guillaume Restes.
Spain had scored three goals in ten first-half minutes, but France equalized with a penalty in injury time to drag the match into extra time.

Midfielder Enzo Millot put the hosts 1-0 ahead in the 11th minute as he capitalized on a failed clearance at the right-hand side of the box and drove in an angled shot.
Fermin Lopez pulled level for Spain in the 18th minute when he met a pass from the right flank unchallenged before firing home.

In the 26th minute, Lopez tapped in a rebound after Restes had failed to hold a shot, making it 2-1.
Two minutes later, Alex Baena curved in a direct free kick to put Spain 3-1 in front.
France stepped up their offense after the break, and midfielder Manu Kone almost found the net in the 57th minute when his header hit the bar.

Halfway through the second half, Spain's defense began to falter under the mounting attack from France, with Tenas making three saves against shots from Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Kone from the 62nd to 72nd minutes.
But Tenas could do nothing in the 79th minute when France midfielder Maghnes Akliouche deflected a free kick by Olise.

In the last minute of regular time, France was awarded a penalty after a VAR check, which was coolly converted by Mateta.
Six minutes into injury time, France survived a scare when Spain midfielder Benat Turrientes hit the post in a fast attack.
The hosts, however, found no way to deal with Camello's subsequent strikes.
