There is one game taking place today in the Men's Olympic football at London 2012, as Brazil take on Mexico in the gold medal match.

This afternoon's Brazil v Mexico clash at Wembley Stadium sees pre-tournament favourites Brazil also favourites to take the gold medal later today.

Mano Menezes's team have impressed throughout the competition and eased past South Korea 3-0 in the semi-finals, thanks to goals from Romulo and Leandro Damiao (2), who is currently the tournament's leading scorer with six goals.

Brazil have scored 15 goals in five games as they bid to win the tournament for the first time and today marks their first appearance in an Olympic final since the 1988 Seoul Games, when a team containing Bebeto and Romario won silver.

Mexico booked their place in the final after coming from behind to beat Japan 3-1 in the semi-finals earlier this week.

Bookmakers don't appear to fancy their chances of taking gold in this showdown between two football-mad countries, however. At time of writing, Mexico are 5/1 to win at Wembley, with Brazil just 1/2.
