Japan Stun Brazil as LiveSano Scores to Give Them a Surprise Lead
Brazil faces a crucial second half against Japan, with Lucas Paquetá sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Endrick has been substituted in, likely pushing Matheus Cunha into the number 10 role. The teenager's introduction may be Brazil's best hope for a turnaround.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure to make changes, with Neymar's potential introduction and Casemiro's yellow card posing key decisions. Japan, meanwhile, is 45 minutes away from their first-ever World Cup knockout stage win.
Earlier, Kamada was booked for a foul on Bruno Guimarães, and Japan scored a historic goal, courtesy of a low strike into the corner. The match had a frenetic start, with Casemiro receiving a yellow card for a late tackle on Viní Jr.
In other World Cup news, a third coach has parted ways with their team following a group stage exit, with Czechia joining Scotland and Korea Republic. Brazil and Japan's starting line-ups were announced earlier, with the latter's defense proving difficult for opponents to break down.
In a separate development, the football world is abuzz with speculation over high-profile free agents set to expire at the end of next month. Meanwhile, the Premier League has clarified why Tottenham was not awarded a penalty in their draw against Leeds.
In Saudi Arabia, an error by goalkeeper Bento delayed Cristiano Ronaldo's first title in the Saudi League, as Al-Nassr's lead was erased in the 53rd minute of the second half.
