Brazil vs Japan in the Round of 32, played June 29, ended 2-1 to Brazil, a result that kept the five-time champions moving forward before a shock Round of 16 exit against Norway ended their tournament one round later. Brazil had won their group ahead of the match, and carried that form into a knockout stage that started well before Norway's Erling Haaland-inspired upset followed. Japan, runners-up in their group after draws with Netherlands and Sweden, pushed Brazil in a tight match but could not find a way through for a second goal. Track Brazil vs Japan for the complete story of that result, with lineups, scoring and match statistics from the game.
