3-2! 2-0! A wild night in football: Japan topples Brazil, South Korea wins too, while China suffers an upset

On October 15th Beijing time, football friendlies were in full swing. On the same night, the teams from China, Japan, and South Korea all played warm-up matches with surprising results. Japan created a miracle by overturning a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 against Brazil. South Korea showed clear dominance with a 2-0 clean sheet over the defensively tough Paraguay. Meanwhile, China’s U22 team failed to score despite controlling the game, ending in a shocking 0-0 draw with Thailand—an embarrassing outcome!

Japan vs Brazil. In the Kirin Cup friendly, Japan faced a Brazil side with their main players. Despite conceding two goals in the first half and trailing 0-2, Japan launched a fierce comeback in the second half. Their team effort was outstanding, applying intense pressure that caused Brazil’s defenders to make repeated mistakes. Coupled with excellent finishing, Japan staged a stunning comeback from two goals down to win 3-2. This marked their first-ever victory over Brazil, a historic breakthrough. This win also boosted Japan’s confidence for the World Cup and reaffirmed their strength—among the world’s top ten teams, no one can say they can easily beat Japan!

South Korea vs Paraguay. After a heavy defeat to Brazil left them low on morale, South Korea faced a tough Paraguay side known for their strong defense in this friendly. They were not favored to win, but South Korea played with sharp coordination and great intensity. Scoring once in each half, they secured a clean 2-0 victory, decisively shutting out their opponents. This commanding win was quite unexpected given Paraguay’s strength!

China U22 vs Thailand. China dominated this match overwhelmingly but failed to convert chances. Their attack lacked the ability to finish, firing 18 shots without scoring. The game ended in a shocking 0-0 draw, truly an eyesore. Watching Japan and South Korea defeat strong teams while our team can’t even beat a weaker Asian side highlights the gap. China’s national team is now far behind Japan and South Korea!
