Off the bench at 17. Brazil off the podium.

The Gabba, 2000. Modeste M'bami was 17, months removed from Dynamo Douala, sitting on Cameroon's bench. Patrick Mboma had put the Lions ahead; Ronaldinho levelled it deep in stoppage time. Then golden goal — next one wins, match over on the spot. M'bami came on and scored it. Cameroon went on to take the country's first Olympic gold in any sport. He died in 2023, aged 40. The goal never aged.
