Mexico captured their first ever soccer gold medal at the Olympics today as they knocked off Brazil in the finals. Prior to this gold medal, Mexico’s best finish was a fourth place in 1968. Brazil appeared in the final for the first time since 1988 and matched the country’s best finish at the Olympics with their third silver (1984, 1988).

Some may find Brazil’s Olympic record vs. their World Cup record to lack congruity, which is technically true, but Mexico is no slouch and actually has a winning record against the Brazilians in this millennium with six wins, four losses and two draws.
