Brazil stunned by incredible comeback in friendly 🤯 | OneFootball

Never underestimate Japan! 

Friendly football sometimes delivers completely crazy scenarios, and Tuesday’s game in Chōfu is proof of that.

Trailing 2–0 at halftime, Japan turned it around against Brazil (3–2) thanks to a blistering second half.

Yet everything had started well for Carlo Ancelotti’s men.

Within half an hour, Paulo Henrique (26’, assist by Bruno Guimarães) and Gabriel Martinelli (32’, assist by Lucas Paquetá) had put the Seleção in control.

2-0, total control, Vinícius smiling… In short, a calm afternoon seemed to be unfolding at Ajinomoto Stadium.

Except Japan hadn’t had its last word.

Reinvigorated after the break, the Samurai Blue set the match alight.

Takumi Minamino (52’) first pulled one back, before Keito Nakamura (62’) and then Ayase Ueda (71’) defied the odds. 

What a remontada!
