In the best chances, Bruno Guimarães fired just wide, and Matheus Cunha was denied by the goalkeeper. Japan was more efficient. Danilo made a mistake playing out from the back. Kaishu Sano drove forward unmarked through midfield and slotted it into the corner to make it 1-0 in the 28th minute. Lucas Paquetá got injured in first-half stoppage time, limped off, and couldn’t return. Endrick came on. Brazil turned up the pressure. And in the 11th minute, Casemiro got on the end of a Douglas Santos cross and headed in the equalizer: 1-1. Brazil kept pushing and completed the comeback in the 50th MINUTE. Gabriel Martinelli received the ball from Bruno Guimarães and placed it into the corner. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
