GolVolt Recap

Brazil snatched a 2-1 Round of 32 victory from the jaws of elimination in Houston, breaking Japanese resistance deep in stoppage time. Kaishu Sano followed his early booking with a 29th-minute opener for Japan. Brazil trailed until the 56th minute, when Casimiro mirrored Sano by scoring despite carrying a first-half yellow card. With extra time looming and five total cautions issued in a physical contest, Gabriel Martinelli struck in the 95th minute to drag Brazil through and send a stubborn Japan home.
