It's Mexico — unexpectedly.

Oribe Peralta scored twice to lead Mexico to its first Olympic gold medal in men's soccer, stunning favored Brazil 2-1 on Saturday.

Peralta scored 29 seconds into the game, the fastest goal since FIFA started keeping track of Olympic records in 1976, then headed a free kick from Marco Fabian past Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel in the 75th minute to put the game away.

It was another devastating defeat for Brazil, which is now 0-3 in Olympic gold medal games.
