World Cup 2026: Brazil knocks out Japan from round 32
Brazil came from behind to beat Japan at the death in a thrilling 2026 World Cup knockout clash.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli slotted home deep into stoppage time, with the game appearing to be on course for extra time.
Casemiro had earlier levelled the score after Kaishu Sano had given underdogs Japan an unlikely but deserved lead.
Brazil will next face either the Ivory Coast or Norway in New York on July 5, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake.
