The Brazilian national team defeated its Japanese host (1-0) in the international football match, which brought them together on Monday, as part of their preparations to participate in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Seleção team owes its victory to its star Neymar, who scored the only winning goal from the penalty kick in the 77th minute of the match, which took place in the capital, Tokyo.
Neymar scored his 74th goal for the Brazilian national team in 119 international matches, making the Paris Saint-Germain striker just three goals away from equaling the legend Pele’s record number of goals with the Brazilian national team throughout the ages.
While Brazil achieved its second victory in a row, following its crushing victory over its South Korean host (5-1), last Thursday.
The Brazilian team, “Seleção”, is looking for the sixth World Cup title in its history, and for the first time following 20 years of absence from the podium for the world title.
