The Japanese team cried bitterly. They scored first but were reversed by Brazil. They could not break the curse of losing in the first round of the knockout round.

Japan is only a few minutes away from a miracle. In the top 32 knockout rounds of the World Cup, Japan faced five-time champion Brazil. It was generally believed that this would be a tough battle, but the Blue Warriors showed amazing fighting ability. In the 29th minute, Sano Kaishu took the lead to score, helping Japan gain a point and giving Asian fans hope of overturning the Brazilian behemoth. However, Brazil finally showed the confidence of a world-class power. In the 56th minute of the second half, Casemiro scored with a header to tie the score, and the two sides remained in a stalemate until injury time. Seeing that the game was about to enter a playoff, Martinelli completed a fatal victory in the 96th minute, shattering Japan’s dream of promotion with one goal, and the Blue Samurai finally lost 1-2. After the game, almost all Japanese players were in tears. Kiryo Ueda and Kaishu Sano sat on the turf for a long time, unable to get up. Ritsu Donyasu apologized to the fans with tears in his eyes. Head coach Yasuichi Mori also called the entire team to form a circle to encourage the players to keep moving forward. In this battle, Japan has not made progress. Mori Yasuichi said after the game that the gap between Japan and Brazil is narrowing. It is not that Brazil is getting weaker, but that Japan is approaching the world’s top level. But the result was still cruel. Japan challenged the first round of the World Cup knockout rounds for five consecutive times and still failed to break through this high wall. This episode will help you understand: Why did Japan almost defeat Brazil? Sano Kaishu scored first, why could he still not hold on to victory? Brazil’s 96th-minute winner, what’s so cruel about it? Japan has been stuck in the first round of the knockout rounds for five consecutive years. Is it fate or a gap in strength? Do you think Japan is proud of its defeat? Or does it prove once again that Asian football is still far from the top in the world?
