Remember, neither of these teams have won the Olympic gold before in men’s football. A lot riding on the line, especially for the hosts who are seeking some sort of redemption for that humiliating 7-1 loss in the World Cup.

Brazilian fans are also hoping for a bit of redemption after the 7-1 loss to Germany’s senior team at the World Cup two years ago. Younger squads play in the Olympics, but pride is still in play.

Brazil has finished with the silver medal three times and the bronze twice. Four years ago, it lost to Mexico in the final in London.

Germany is playing in the Olympics for the first time since 1988, when U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann was on the team. It won the bronze at the time, when it competed as West Germany. It has never won the gold.

Rio de Janeiro: India’s Aditi Ashok went through a horrendous third round of eight-over 79 to drop 23 places to be tied 31st in the women’s golf event at the Olympic Games In Rio de Janeiro on Friday. The 18-year-old, who scored two successive three-under 68 to be tied eighth till the 36 holes, played a poor back-nine where she was bogged down by five bogeys. [caption id=“attachment_2556640” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]File photo of Aditi Ashok. Getty Images File photo of Aditi Ashok. Getty Images[/caption] Now she has a three-day total of two-over 215. With Friday’s performance, her hopes of getting a medal ended. Aditi, the youngest woman golfer at Rio, got a bogey on the second hole before pulling things back with a birdie on the fifth. But she carded a bogey on the seventh hole to complete the front-nine with a score of one-over 36. In the back-nine, she made three consecutive birdes starting from the 11th before getting two more bogeys on the 18th to get a 79. Meanwhile, overnight leader Inbee Park of South Korea carded a quiet 70 to continue her reign at the top with a 54-hole total of 11-under 202. Two strokes behind Inbee were New Zealand star Lydia Ko (65) and Gerina Piller (68) of the United States. Chinese Shanshan Feng was fourth after carding 68 that took her total to eight-under 205. China’s Lin Xiyu and Lydia made historic hole-in-one efforts on the par-three eight.
