Kathmandu. Brazil, the five-time winner, defeated Japan by 2.1 goals in a very exciting and competitive match on Monday night under the ongoing FIFA World Cup in America, and set a trip to the last 16. After the scheduled 90-minute match ended with a 1-1 draw, Gabriel Martinelli averted Brazil's crisis by scoring a decisive goal in the last minute of the match, which was pushed to extra time.
Having strengthened the initial control of the game, Japan took the lead in the 29th minute through Kaisu Sano's excellent goal. Taking away the ball from the Brazilian players in the midfield, Sano hit the net directly with a powerful shot from outside the box.
Trailing by one goal, Brazil adopted an aggressive strategy at the beginning of the second half.
