From one GB boxer to another.

Gabriel Barbosa is getting dog's abuse for not cutting the ball back there as two team-mates closed in on goal. And not just from his fellow players. 

Half a Maracana stand rises to ask why he didn't pass, in brutal terms! 

Germany midfielder Lars Bender is a distraught individual - he has to trudge off with an injury and makes way for Grischa Proemel.

Max Meyer levels the gold medal final for Germany.

When we were speaking to fans outside the Maracana, they were in supremely confident mood. There was talk of 6-0, 7-0, although, admittedly, a fair amount of the local brew had been consumed.

No-one really considered Germany having a part to play in the match and now Brazil must recover from conceding their first goal of the Olympics. 

The crowd responded before pockets of German fans had finished celebrating, and they are jumping up and down now trying to encourage their team forward.

They sit and glare like a kid in assembly and screams ring out as Germany level.

As it hits the net the screams go silent. A collective swear word doesn't come but you can sense and feel it, it's there.

Great chance for Brazil. Renato Augusto slides in a low ball and Gabriel Jesus beats German keeper Timo Horn to it, but prods past the post.

Twenty-five minutes to go.

Another gold for what is turning out to be a good day for Russia.

Alexander Lesun finishes with 1479 points which is a new Olympic record.

Very impressive from Germany. Meyer is such a busy little figure and that is the first goal Brazil have conceded in the tournament. This will be a real test of the Brazil temperament now. They have not looked anywhere near as good going forward this half. Now they have conceded, let's see how they react.

Germany continued to pass and probe but I think they were aided by Brazil going on the back foot and allowing pressure to build up on them.

That is a real quality finish from Max Meyer.

It's been coming. There's the equaliser that sucks the life out of a large proportion of Rio.

If this tournament doesn't mean much in football terms then this gent missed the brief.

He's having kittens as Brazil defend a free-kick.

But the bronze medal bout is where the action was.

Cuddly toys being thrown, coaches remonstrating with judges, a wrestler storming off.

It's almost as good Austin v Michaels at WrestleMania XIV.

Earlier, Russia’s Abdulrashid Sadulaev stormed to gold beating Turkey’s Selim Yasar 5-0.

A dark look on the face of the Germany coach. He is unhappy his side could not turn their dominance into goals. A gripping first half. More of the same in the second.

Brazil are 45 minutes away from exacting some measure of revenge against Germany, after their 7-1 defeat in the World Cup semi-final two years ago.

Neymar's strike separates the sides.

The Olympic Park is largely yellow in colour tonight and there's a thirst in the air if the queue for beer is anything to go by. Schoolboy error leaving it until half-time.

Still, from the beer queue you can watch some questionable dance moves.

Olympic mascot Vinicius is going down in my estimations rapidly.
