Gabriel Martinelli scored a stoppage-time winner for Brazil to beat plucky Japan 2-1 in the round of 32 at the World Cup on Monday.
Kaishu Sano‘s first-half opener gave Japan real hope to cause an all-time upset but Casemiro headed home an equaliser after 56 minutes.
Martinelli then struck six minutes into added time to break Japan’s hearts and ensure the five-time winners advanced beyond this tough test.
It was Brazil’s latest goal in normal time to win a World Cup game.
