LATER TONIGHT

A moment to savour for Manuel Neuer when he takes the pitch against Paraguay today.

If you're in need of a recap of Brazil's comeback win, Opta has you covered in the run-up to Germany-Paraguay.

We're only just catching our breath but our next round of 32 clash is just over an hour away and the teams are in!

The big news is that Deniz Undav has replaced Jamal Musiala in the German lineup.

FULL TIME! BRAZIL 2-1 JAPAN

Martinelli is the pride of Brazil as his late, late goal sends Brazil into the last 16 in incredibly dramatic style.

It's absolute heartbreak for Japan but Carlo Ancelotti's men march on and could this be the start of a run to their sixth title?

What a game!

It was a lovely through ball from Marquinhos to find Martinelli but Japan will have nightmares about losing the ball on the edge of their box.

Time is running out.

GOOOOOAL! BRAZIL HAVE WON IT!

Gabriel Martinelli has sent Brazil into the last 16 with a 96th minute goal, sending the ball past Suzuki after being slipped in.

The entire bench emptied as the Japanese collapse to the ground.

Surely that's that.

Fabinho heads way over and that could be that for regular time.

Deep into added time.

It looks like we're about to have another 30 minutes but Brazil have a corner....

Casemiro is down with either injury or just pure fatigue.

Fabinho is coming on in his place. Does he also have one last dance in him?

Rayan's fierce free-kick is deflected over for a corner.

Danilo wins a free-kick in a dangerous position just right of the box.

Can Casemiro pop up with another header?

The game has slightly slowed down but that's hardly a shock given the relentless pace of this second half.

We're moving ever closer to the 90.

Surely Neymar will be on shortly, possibly in place of Rayan?

It's set up for a magical moment for Brazil's all-time leading scorer.

Brazil back controlling the ball but Japan are holding firm.

If ever a hydration break was deserved. Both sides are going full pelt here.

Subs for both sides.

Cunha is off for Gabriel Martinelli while Japan have changed their wing-backs.

Keito Nakamura and Ritsu Doan are off for Yukinari Sugawara and Junnosuke Suzuki.

What a second half we are having here. Brazil are on top but Japan look dangerous on the break.

Somehow it's only been 19 minutes.

OFF THE POST!

What an incredible game this is, and Brazil just keep coming.

Vini Jr. dances through a defender on the left and punts the ball towards the far corner. The hand of Suzuki turns it onto the post.

Brilliant play from both winger and keeper.

GOAL! CASEMIRO DOES IT!

He came close just moments ago but he's now got his goal, and it's yet another header for the iconic midfielder.

The 34-year-old is just onside and he powers one past Suzuki.

The scenes in the stands are incredible.

OFF THE LINE!

Absolutely incredible.

Almost right after Bruno's header, Casemiro comes even closer from six yards out.

The ball looked like it was heading in but a combination of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Suzuki somehow get the ball away.

This is thrilling stuff.

BIG MISS!

Bruno Guimarães rises highest to a cross but can only head straight at Zion Suzuki, who palms it away.

Either side of the Japan keeper and it was 1-1.

The Newcastle captain gees up the crowd afterwards as Brazil look to pile on the pressure.

Brazil unsurprisingly have more urgency in their play and now have four forwards on the pitch with Neymar warming up on the touchline.

It won't be long.

BACK UNDERWAY!

Can Brazil save themselves or will Japan have their greatest day?

Lucas Paquetá tweaked his hamstring in the first half and he's not come back out for the second.

Endrick is on which will mean Matheus Cunha will probably drop into the 10 role.

Can the teenager be his nation's saviour?

It's a huge half-time for Brazil and Carlo Ancelotti.

Will the legendary manager make changes? Could we see Neymar soon? Might Casemiro come off given he's on a yellow?

Big decisions to make.

HALF-TIME!

Brazil 0-1 Japan

The Samurai Blue are 45 minutes away from their first ever World Cup knockout stage win.

Kamada booked for a cynical trip on Bruno Guimarães as he attempted to counter.

An unusual bit of history made with that Japanese goal.

What a moment for the Mainz man.

The Blue Samurai support can't believe it!

GOAL! Brazil 0-1 Japan

Sano 29'

He was allowed to run forward and unleashed a low strike low into the corner for the opening goal!

Hydration break time. It remains 0-0.

Is it the best kit of the tournament?

Two chances in quick succession for Cunha and Paquetà as Brazil go close before Casemiro goes into the book.

A late tackle on Viní Jr and we have our first yellow card of the contest.

A frenetic start but no real chances as yet - while Neymar met a hero of his before kick-off.

KICK-OFF!

We're underway in Houston between Brazil and Japan.

We're almost ready.

Thirty minutes until kick-off in our opener.

Who gets through - Brazil or Japan?

A third World Cup coach has left following a group stage exit - Czechia now joining Scotland and Korea Republic in parting ways after a disappointing performance.

Teams have found it hard to create chances against Japan. Will Brazil encounter similar issues?

Japan's starting line-up is also in for the first game of the day.

Brazil have named their starting line-up early for their clash with Japan.
