Spanish substitute Brian Gill hit the net with an amazing long-range shot one minute before extra time.
Brazil was vying for its third consecutive gold medal at the Games – after a gold it won in Rio and a silver medal in London 2012.
The 1992 champions Spain won the gold before the tournament started as they had a squad full of players that took part in this summer’s European Championships.
Among them were Barcelona players Pedri and Eric Garcia, Villarreal’s Pau Torres, and Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon.
The Spaniards struggled to reach the top, despite making their way to the final, not showing enough quality to snatch the gold medal from Brazil.
