Gabon, making their first appearance in the Olympic football tournament fell behind in the fourth minute to a penalty that had to be taken twice. After a nervous start, the African team began to assert itself and equalised on the stroke of half-time. Gabon could have won the match, especially after Switzerland's Oliver Buff was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for diving in the box.

Giovanni Dos Santos came on as a substitute and scored twice, the second a penalty deep into injury-time, to give Mexico the points. Perhaps wearing their change strip for no apparent reason did the trick.

South Korea were dominant in the first half and deserved their lead, a goal from Park Chuyoung in the 57th minute. Switzerland hit back immediately, Emeghara equalising three minutes later but the Taeguk Warriors continued to press the attack and were rewarded when Kim Bokyung restored their lead almost immediately.

Despite having the best of the first half, Switzerland conceded the lead mid way through the second. Mexico might have scored more as they counter-attacked swiftly as the Swiss pressed for an equaliser. Mexico finished top of Group B and Switzerland were eliminated.
