Spain Wins Olympic Gold in Dramatic Final: Samu Omorodion Misses Out
Spain Wins Olympic Gold: Samu Omorodion Excluded from Final Samu Omorodion, the soon-to-be Chelsea striker, has earned an Olympic gold medal with Spain, despite not participating in the final match. Spain triumphed over France in a thrilling men’s football final at the Paris 2024 Games, capping off a sensational summer season.
In an intense finale, France initially took the lead following a goalkeeping error. However, Spain responded with three goals in quick succession within the first half-hour, seemingly sealing their victory. France staged a dramatic comeback, scoring in the final ten minutes and benefiting from a late VAR penalty. Despite this, Spain secured their win in extra time, achieving a double victory by also winning the European Championship earlier this summer.
Omorodion, who was absent from the final, is set to join Chelsea soon. During the tournament, he made one appearance, scoring a goal. Barcelona’s Fermín López led Spain with six goals throughout the competition.
In related Olympic news, Emma Hayes and the USWNT are set to compete for gold against Brazil tomorrow in what promises to be an exciting match.
