Juanlu Sanchez came off the bench to fire Spain to a record-equaling fifth Olympic men's soccer final.

Sanchez struck in the 85th minute at Stade de Marseille to seal a 2-1 win over Morocco and set up a final against France at the Paris Games.

The match saw Morocco initially taking the lead with a penalty converted by Soufiane Rahimi. Spain equalized through Fermin Lopez, who later assisted Sanchez for the winning goal.
