Brazil Sets Qualification Records and Faces Japanese Curse
The Brazil-Japan match in the 2026 World Cup saw a winning goal scored by Gabriel Martinelli in the 95th minute, securing Brazil’s qualification and becoming the latest winning goal in knockout matches since 1966. Brazil also achieved its second win in nine matches after trailing in the score, and the Japanese team broke their hex of failing to advance past knockout rounds, having previously failed in their five unsuccessful attempts. The tournament continues to set high scoring records, with 34 goals from outside the penalty area so far—more than any edition since 2010.
