At 90+1, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto received the ball on the right diagonal of the Brazilian goal area and scored the goal that gave Japan the victory: 3-2.

ANCELOTTI AND RAPHINHA RECEIVED RED CARD

Meanwhile, the last moments of the match ended in a tense atmosphere.

In the 87th minute, Japan goalkeeper Suzuki and Brazil's Endrick and Vinicius Junior received yellow cards.

The South American representative claimed that there was a foul on Joao Gomes before Sakamoto's goal, and coach Carlo Ancelotti and Raphinha, who left the game in the 71st minute, were sent off with a red card for entering the field.

REACTION FROM RAPHINHA TO THE REFEREE

In his statement after the match, Raphinha reacted to the Singaporean referee of the match, Jansen Foo, and said: "First of all, I want to apologize for my behavior and being sent off. Sometimes it is difficult to control myself. I tried to talk to him several times after the referee made many mistakes throughout the match. I never felt that he was open to discussion. I believe he made mistakes at many points in the match. This is unacceptable. I think there was a hand tackle in their first goal. There was a penalty in the first half. I think it was a penalty, but he said it wasn't. Then, in their third goal, "There was a clear foul against Joao. The goal was deemed valid with the help of VAR. It is very difficult to talk about refereeing here," he said.
