Brazil vs Japan LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Updates: Japan lead Brazil 1-0 at half-time in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash in Houston, thanks to Kaishu Sano’s 29th-minute strike.
Sano intercepted the ball inside his own half before embarking on a brilliant 40-yard run to finish past Alisson. Star forward Neymar Jr was, once again, named on the bench for the five-time champions by head coach Carlo Ancelotti. Neymar was also a substitute for Brazil’s final group-stage match against Scotland, but the 34-year-old marked his emotional return from injury after coming on in the closing stages of that 3-0 win.
