Oscar stands only 90 minutes away from a gold medal after his Brazil side booked an Olympic Final date against Mexico with a 3-0 win against South Korea at Old Trafford.

on was all but secured.

Neymar instigated the move, finding Oscar just inside the Korea half, and after an intelligent diagonal run the 20-year-old found Romulo with an incisive pass, allowing the midfielder to fire Brazil into the lead.

Unsurprisingly, both Oscar and Neymar were heavily involved in the build-up, and as the ball ran into the path of Damiao, the Internacional striker made no mistake.
