Brazil vs Japan LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup 2026 Updates: Casemiro has equalised for Brazil in the second half of their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash against Japan in Houston.
After seeing an earlier attempt cleared off the line, the midfielder finally made the pressure count, heading home from close range to cancel out Kaishu Sano’s first-half strike. 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.
