Waited 36 years for this moment! Overcoming a 0-2 deficit against Japan, Brazil suffers first defeat as Japan clinches a historic World Cup victory.

On October 14th Beijing time, the Kirin Challenge Cup continues with intense action. A key match just ended where Japan, playing at home, faced the strong Brazilian team. Japan overturned a 0-2 deficit by scoring three straight goals to achieve a stunning 3-2 victory. This historic win over Brazil is the first in Japan’s history and has been awaited for 36 years. Beating Brazil shows that Japan’s pursuit of the World Cup crown is a serious goal, not a fantasy!

Japan is ranked 19th in the world and tops Asia, becoming the first team to qualify directly for the North American World Cup. To assess their form, Japan arranged a friendly against Brazil. Brazil, ranked fifth globally, also secured their World Cup spot from South America. Additionally, Brazil is now coached by Ancelotti, and this team is progressing steadily. Historically, Brazil had never lost to Japan, so Japan’s win was unexpected and incredible!

The match started with Brazil dominating possession and playing efficiently in the first half, scoring two goals from three shots to lead 2-0 at halftime. However, after the break, while many expected Japan to collapse, they suddenly erupted with relentless attacks on Brazil. Japan’s ability to capitalize on chances was impressive, applying intense pressure that forced Brazil’s defense into repeated mistakes. Bruno alone made two critical errors leading to two goals for Japan. Then Japan took advantage of a corner, with Ueda Ayase heading in the go-ahead goal. Brazil tried substitutions to equalize but failed, and the match ended 3-2 in a shocking comeback victory for Japan. Truly unbelievable!

Japan’s strength is undeniable, showing two very different halves, especially their resilience when trailing. Having already beaten Germany and Brazil, and now securing their first-ever win against Brazil again, Japan’s claim to the World Cup is no mere fantasy. At this point, Japan’s chances of winning the World Cup are far greater than China’s chances of qualifying for it!
