France beat Egypt and reach Olympic men's football final

Hosts France will play an Olympic men's football final for the first time in 40 years after beating Egypt 3-1 in extra time at the Lyon stadium on Monday and will face Spain for the gold medal. France fought back after conceding their first goal in the tournament when Saber grabbed a stunning lead for Egypt before Mateta levelled with a late strike.

Mateta got a double before Michael Olise scored in extra time to earn Thierry Henry's side the victory and extend their quest for a second Olympic title in Friday's final at Parc des Princes against Spain, who earlier beat Morocco 2-1.
