Olympics football: Spain eliminated at group stage

Spain's shock 1-0 defeat by Honduras saw their Olympic campaign fail to get beyond the group phase.

The Hondurans, who won thanks to Jerry Bengtson's early goal, progress from Group D along with Japan, who beat Morocco 1-0.

Brazil beat Belarus 3-1 to qualify from Group C, while Egypt drew 1-1 with New Zealand.

In Group B, Mexico picked up a 2-0 victory against Gabon and South Korea secured a 2-1 win over Switzerland.

Bengtson scored both goals in Honduras's opening 2-2 draw with Morocco and found the net once again after eight minutes in Newcastle.

Spain, whose attempts to add a gold medal to their three consecutive major tournament wins were dealt a blow when they lost their opening game 1-0 to Japan, hit the woodwork three times in the second period and they are knocked out with one group game remaining.

Japan secured their place in the knock-out phase with Kensuke Nagai's late effort earning them victory against Morocco.

Renan Bressan opened the scoring for Belarus against Brazil at Old Trafford but Neymar crossed for Alexandre Pato to head in, curled in an impressive free-kick and then laid on a third goal for Oscar.

Egypt must now beat Group C's second-placed team Belarus on Wednesday to progress after a 1-1 draw against New Zealand which saw Chris Wood give the All Whites the lead before Mohamed Salah equalized from close range just before the interval.

South Korea collected a 2-1 win over Switzerland, with Park Chu-Young and Kim Bo-Kyung scoring either side of Innocent Emeghara's effort.

The victory moves them level with Group B leaders Mexico, who picked up a 2-0 win over Gabon thanks to two goals from Tottenham's Giovani dos Santos.
