SHANGHAI (SW) - Brazil have won the Bronze medal at the Olympic Games in China, after a rather easy victory over Belgium.
Werder Bremen's Diego opened the score for Dunga's men in the 27th minute and Jo scored both in the 45th and the 92nd minute to earn his side a comfortable 3-0 win.
The medal is Brazil's fourth at the Olympics. The South Americans lost the final in 1984 and 1988 and finished third in 1996.
Interestingly, 1996 also had the same two finalists as this year, with Nigeria eventually taking the Gold at the expense of Argentina.
