Brazil advanced to the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup after a 2:1 victory over Japan in Houston. The five-time world champions had to turn around an unfavorable score in their first knockout-stage match, scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time, according to available data in the 95th minute. Sueddeutsche Zeitung ↗
Japan took the lead thanks to Kaishu Sano, who scored shortly after a foul on Matheus Cunha. There was debate over the incident as to whether he should have received a second yellow card. Brazil struggled against their opponent's disciplined defense, but turned the match around after halftime. Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised the Japanese team's performance after the match and preferred to rest Neymar. eurofotbal.cz ↗
Neymar returned to the Brazilian national team already at the end of the group stage in Miami, where Brazil defeated Scotland 3:0. He played for the first time since October 2023, that is, after nearly three years. His return was watched at Miami Stadium by several football personalities, including Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, and David Beckham. The main figure of the match against Scotland was Vinícius, who scored two goals. dennikn.sk ↗
Brazil thus, after winning Group C, also managed to get through the first knockout duel, although this time they had to respond to their opponent's lead. In the next round, the question remains what role Neymar will be given after his return to the team and whether Ancelotti will use him more extensively. teraz.sk ↗
