The Olympic men's soccer final is now set for Friday with host nation France and Spain booking their places in the Paris Games final by coming from one goal down to win.

The Spanish now have the chance to add OIympic gold to their UEFA Euro 2024 and UEFA under-19 Euro successes already this summer. The Atlas Lions and the Pharaohs can still take home bronze in the game for third place but neither could match Spain's soccer renaissance nor the strength of the home French support as a date in the capital hones into view.
