Brazil's got off to the best start possible in their Olympic semifinal when they scored just 14 seconds into their match against Honduras.

Honduras took the opening kick and retreated into their own end. After several seemingly benign passes, Neymar pressured the ball at the top of the penalty area and deflected a pass back towards the goal.

Neymar was able to toe the ball forward, where it ricocheted off the keeper, back off of Neymar's knee, and then over the keeper and into the goal.
