Japan defeated Brazil and made a strong impression. The Asian team beat the “Seleção” 3-2 in a friendly match in Singapore.
In the first 20 minutes, the Japanese scored two goals, with Kubo opening the scoring in the 15th minute, while Nakamura found the back of the net four minutes later. Vinícius then took charge, scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful shot, while his goal in the 75th minute—a long-range shot that hit the crossbar before going in—was also impressive.

However, the Japanese had the last word, with Sakamoto finding the back of the net. The goal sparked outrage from Brazil, with strong complaints about its legality, leading the referee to show red cards to Ancelotti and Rafinha. As a result, the Barcelona star will miss Tuesday’s friendly against Singapore.
