Brazil is looking to make it two gold medals in a row as it heads into the semifinals, following a win over Egypt in the quarterfinals. They will meet Mexico, which has been in perfect shape lately as 'El Tri' destroyed South Korea 6-3. Mexico finished second in the group stage with 6 points, winning two matches and losing against Japan. In the quarterfinals, they faced South Korea in a tough game where both teams produced nine goals. After a 3-1 Half-Time, Mexico had an easier job, just to manage the advantage. On the other side, Brazil has been brilliant so far. They finished first in the group with 7 points, two wins, and a draw. They haven't lost a match yet in this tournament and want to maintain this streak. In the quarterfinals, they faced Egypt. Great domination by the Brazilians, creating many chances but were able to score only once. The goal scored by Cunah in the 37th minute was enough for Seleção to advance further. Now the moment of truth has come, one step away from the grand finale. Who will advance to the final round?
