Its 6-0 semifinal win Wednesday over Honduras kept Brazil in pursuit of the Olympic gold medal " the one important international prize the only five-time World Cup champions have never won. "I'm happy for the goals but the most important thing is that we made it to the final," said Gabriel Jesus. "It was important to win like this, playing well and with a lot of goals." Neymar left Brazil in 2013 as a 21-year-old and is one of three senior players on Brazil's team; Olympic rules require the remaining players to be 23 or younger. Prominent in that group are Garbiel Barbosa, known in these part as "Gabigol" and Gabriel Jesus, who signed Premier League powerhouse Manchester City.
