Brazil vs Ivory Coast LIVE: Tokyo 2020 Olympics team news, line-ups and more today

Brazil have immediately taken the upper hand in the early stages in Yokohama, with Richarlison darting down the left wing and sending panic through Ivory Coast’s defence. It has not been entirely one-way traffic, though, with AC Milan’s central midfielder, Franck Kessié, able to settle the tempo a little.

Brazil started their Tokyo Olympics campaign in spectacular fashion with a 4-2 thashing of Germany in their first group match and victory against the Ivory Coast will all but guarantee their place in the knockout stages.

While there can be no doubting the quality on show for the reigning champions, who won on home soil in Rio five years ago, Ivory Coast will still provide firm opposition, with Manchester United pair Eric Bailly and Amad Diallo both featuring.

The Netherlands’ Anniemiek van Vleuten finishes second and Italy’s Elisa Longo-Borghini takes the bronze medal. Here’s the moment Kiesenhofer took gold:

Anna Kiesenhofer has stormed home to victory in the womens’ cycling road race on the Fuji International Speedway track. Similarly to yesterday’s men’s race, which was won by Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz, there is a whole pack of chasers now sizing each other up as they chase the other two medals.

Report from the skatepark:

As Jagger Eaton stood on the lip preparing to drop into his second run, his head began bouncing to the beat. It is safe to assume the skatepark is the only place over the next couple of weeks where Olympic athletes will be listening to AirPods while they work, and there won’t be many gymnasts, sailors or 110m hurdlers wearing jeans, either. Skating is here and its doing things differently.

The sport made its Olympic debut under the blistering Tokyo sun, and it was captivating ride. Some in the skateboarding community have been deeply sceptical about its move into the mainstream, who feel skating is selling its soul to grey men in suits. But if anything skating managed to achieve both: finally performing on the Olympics’ uniquely global stage while retaining an entirely alternative ethos from the rest.

Eaton had to regather one of those AirPods when he took a tumble but he did enough over the course of the final to win bronze, achieving a dream his mother, a former US gymnast, never did. Aged only 20, the Arizonan has some future ahead of him. Brazil’s Kelvin Hoefler won silver and the mesmerising local talent Yuto Horigome won the first skateboard gold in Olympic history, to the delight of the few Japanese officials and media lucky enough to witness it.

Women’s tennis world number one Ashleigh Barty is out of the Tokyo Olympics after she was beaten earlier by Spain’s Sara Sorribes in two straight sets in the first round.

Speaking about her victory, Sorribes said: “It’s an amazing feeling. I still can’t believe it. It’s something incredible for me, it’s something that I’ve been dreaming all my life – being here and even more, beating the world number one, so yeah, I’m super super happy.”

Barty was visibly dejected after losing the match to the 48th-ranked Spaniard. She declined to address reporters after speaking briefly to the Australian media.

Sorribes, who will also compete in a doubles match later today, is looking forward to playing alongside compatriot Paula Badosa.“I’m playing with Paula who is one of my best friends and we are super happy to have been here playing the doubles and yeah we will enjoy, doesn’t matter the conditions,” she said. “We’re here to play, we are here to enjoy and that’s what we will try to do.”

Naomi Osaka has won her first-round match, after a straightforward first set and a more challenging second that she won 6-4.

Zheng led the second set at one point, after going up 1-0. But Osaka was quick to bounce back and maintained a lead after going 2-1 up. She had two match points on Zheng’s serve before it went to 5-4, after which she held serve easily.
