Germany edged their way to a gold medal match against Brazil as they defeated Nigeria 2-0 at the Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo on Wednesday.

It was a rude ending to the fairytale run of Samson Siasiaโ€™s team who were hoping to emulate their compatriots of Atlanta โ€™96 in the search for a second Olympic title.

Goals from defender Lukas Klostermann and Nils Petersen were enough for the Germans to beat Nigeria.

Germany head into Sundayโ€™s final against Brazil at the Maracana Stadium to renew their rivalry following the demolition at the World Cup two years ago.

Nigeria will face Honduras in the match for the bronze medal.
