Brazil escaped a scare against 10-man Honduras on Saturday, twice coming from behind to earn a 3-2 win and advance to the semifinals of the men's Olympic soccer tournament.
Honduras got goals early in each half but could not hold on as the Brazilians played with an extra man from the 33rd minute after defender Wilmer Crisanto was sent off with two yellow cards just a minute apart.
Mario Martinez put Honduras ahead in the 12th minute before Leandro Damiao equalized in the 38th. Roger Espinoza gave Honduras the lead again in the 48th, but Neymar evened the score by converting a penalty kick in the 50th and Damiao netted the go-ahead goal in the 60th to keep Brazil on track for its first Olympic gold medal.
