(CNN) Brazil will get a shot at redemption after its men's football team thrashed Honduras to set up an Olympic gold medal match against Germany. But the selecao will finally have the opportunity to play in a final at the iconic Maracana, an honor it was denied just over two years ago. If there were any remaining nerves inside the Maracana, they were dispelled 10 minutes later as Brazil added another. Brazil offered the Honduran defense some respite until half time but five minutes into the second period Marquinhos made it four. The last time Brazil met Germany, it endured the most humiliating defeat in its history.
