The Barcelona striker scored 15 seconds into the game and converted a penalty kick in second-half injury time yesterday to lead Brazil over Honduras 6-0 in the semifinals of the men’s tournament. Brazil has never won the Olympic title, and lost in the final at the 2012 London Games. The Olympic gold medal is the only major trophy the five-time World Cup champions haven’t won in soccer. One more win will give them the coveted Olympic gold.
