Brazil wins gold in a remarkable match

Repeating the final match of the last Paranamerican Games in Lima, Brazil and Argentina entered the pitch for the gold medal. As always, both teams started the match with huge intensity, with some even tough actions. Argentina had already two yellow cards when, at the 10th minute, #7 Ubirajara Magalhaes, one of the best players of Brazil, received a red card. This unexpected situation did not affect the emotional spirit of the Brazilian squad, and even with one player less, made a solid defense giving no chance to the Argentinians, especially the goakeeper #1 Moacir Matos, with many important saves made after kicks performed from long distances. Brazil had some good chances in counter-attacks, and Argentinha could not approach the oponent goalpost. Without any goals, the match went for the extra-time. Argentina suffered two great losses by the injuries of players #5 Carlos Carizzo and #6 Cristian Billordo, what decreased the ball possession and also the power of attack. Brazil, even with one less player, had more chances to score. And got it, by #10 Cesar Aguiar at the 70 + 2nd minute. Argentina tried hard to get the tie, to at least take the decision to the penalty kicks, and lost two clear chances to do it. But unsuccessfully. End of the match, a brave victory of Brazil, and the golden medal again goes for Brazil, with Argentina one more time with the silver medal,
