Spain came from a goal down to beat Morocco 2-1 in the semi-final of the men's football at the 2024 Olympics.

Samuel Omorodion was in action as Spain came from a goal down to beat Morocco and qualify for the final in the men’s football event of the Paris Olympic Games on Monday.

With Spain 2-1 up, Omorodion was introduced in the 88th minute to help his side see out the remainder of the game.

Spain also featured in the final of the men’s football event at Tokyo 2020 where they lost to Brazil.

Juanlu Sanchez was the hero as he came off the bench to fire Spain to a record-equaling fifth Olympic men’s football final on Monday.

Sanchez scored in the 85th minute at Stade de Marseille to seal a 2-1 win over Morocco and set up a final against either France or Egypt.

Morocco led 1-0 at halftime after the tournament’s leading scorer Soufiane Rahimi converted a penalty in the 37th.

Spain equalised in the 65th after Fermin Lopez showed quick feet in the box and fired a left-footed shot low in the bottom corner.

It was the Barcelona midfielder’s fourth goal of the tournament.
