Full time at the Aomi Urban Sports Park and it’s a romp for the Brazilians who beat Japan 4-0 to qualify for the quarter-finals and lay down a bit of a marker.
While the second half actually saw the Japanese assert themselves a little more in the match, decisive finishing and a semi-blunder from goalkeeper Daisuke Sato meant the Brazilians added three goals to their first-half tally.
Avani Lekhara’s shooting gold is a big deal for India. The 19-year-old law student from Jaipur is the first Indian woman to win a Paralympics gold medal and the fourth male or female after Murlikant Petkar (swimming), Devendra Jhajharia (javelin throw) and Mariyappan Thangavelu (javelin throw).
She is the first Indian to win a medal in shooting at the Paralympics and the third Indian woman to stand on the podium in any sport after Deepa Malik (shot put, 2016) and Bhavinaben Patel (table tennis), who both won silver.
