Four goals were scored between the 11th and 28th minutes, and the Spaniards took the lead – 3:1.
The French managed to equalize the score in the second half, including converting a penalty in the 90+3 minute. Then Jean-Philippe Mateta scored an accurate strike.
The Spaniards were luckier again in extra time. Sergio Camello scored a golden double in the match in the 100th and 120+1 minutes. Fermin Lopez from Barcelona also scored two goals.
Two championships in a month
The Spaniards took the Olympic gold immediately after winning the 2024 European Championship.
It is noteworthy that Villarreal midfielder Alejandro Baena became the only player from the Spanish national team who was at both Euro 2024 and the 2024 Olympics. It turns out that the player now has two gold medals in a month.
The silver went to the French, led by the legendary Arsenal and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry.
