Brazil forward Neymar scores against Honduras after 14 seconds to claim the fastest goal in Olympic history.

Brazil star Neymar has scored the fastest goal in Olympic history during his team's 6-0 victory over Honduras in the semi-finals of the men's football.

The Barcelona forward found the net after just 14 seconds to get the host nation off to a flyer.

Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus, who is currently on loan at Palmeiras, then struck twice to give Brazil a 3-0 lead at half time.

Marquinhos added a fourth to put the Samba Boys out of sight early in the second period before a late tap-in by Luan and a second from Neymar completed the rout.
