Brazil won 2-1 against Japan in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup after a dramatic back-and-forth match. Despite being considered the favorites, the five-time world champions had to wait until the fifth minute of added time for Gabriel Martinelli's decisive goal to complete the comeback.
The defeat also means Japan continues to miss out on their first World Cup knockout round victory. Asia now has only Australia as its sole representative in the tournament. In the quarter-finals, Carlo Ancelotti's team will face the winner of the match between Ivory Coast and Norway.
Midfielder Daichi Kamada admitted that the Japanese national team still has much to improve. He believes that despite the team's best efforts, this match showed that Japan needs to continue developing and working harder to get closer to the level of the world's top teams.
