Five years ago, Brazil won the Olympic Games when it was held in Brazil.
This year, they are the favorites to take home the gold again.
In the premiere, they also got a taste start after a convincing victory against Germany.
Already in the seventh minute Richarlison took advantage of his own return and put 1-0.
23 minutes later, the Everton star had completed his hat trick with his third goal of the day.
A resigned Germany, who in 2016 fell in the final against Brazil on penalties, then went on a penalty in the final minutes of the first half.
Florian Müller saved, which gave the Germans new energy.
In the second half, Nadiem reduced Amiri before Eintracht Frankfurt's Ragnar Ache made it 2-3. They did not come any closer than that, however. Paulinho could instead make 4-2 in extra time.
