In a repeat of the Gold medal match from London 2012, Mexico Under-23s and Brazil Under-23s renew hostilities in the semi-finals of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics men's football tournament on Tuesday morning.

Jaime Lozano's side prevailed in a goal fest versus South Korea Under-23s to reach the final four, while the reigning champions edged out Egypt by a goal to nil.

We say: Mexico Under-23s 1-2 Brazil Under-23s


The potential loss of Cunha would be a bitter blow to Brazil for this crunch battle, but Richarlison is showing no signs of slowing down in Tokyo and will not hesitate to punish a leaky Mexican defence.

With a place in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics men's Gold medal match at stake, Japan Under-23s welcome Spain Under-23s to home territory at the Saitama Stadium 2002 on Tuesday lunchtime.

The host nation prevailed in a nail-biting penalty shootout with New Zealand to make the final four, whereas Spain's five-star showing against Ivory Coast saw them progress at the weekend.

We say: Japan Under-23s 0-2 Spain Under-23s


Japan have done remarkably well to make it this far on home soil, but failure to find the back of the net in 120 minutes against New Zealand may lead to a hint of apprehension from Moriyasu ahead of Tuesday's game.
