Aoi Tanaka cries, a nightmare of losing the ball and giving up a come-from-behind goal…This tournament was a frustrating mistake in both offense and defense.

Japan, ranked 18th in the FIFA rankings, lost 1-2 to Brazil, which ranked 6th, in second-half stoppage time, missing out on a place in the round of 16. This is the first come-from-behind loss in two years since the Asian Cup quarterfinals against Iran in February 2024.
