COVENTRY, England (AP) — Substitute Giovani Dos Santos scored twice in the second half to give Mexico a 2-0 victory over Gabon on Sunday in the men's Olympic soccer tournament.

Dos Santos came on after the break and opened the scoring in the 63rd minute before converting a penalty in injury time at City of Coventry Stadium.

The win puts Mexico at the top of Group B with four points, while Gabon has one.

Switzerland faced South Korea later Sunday in the second group game of the day.
