Brazil lost 3-2 to Japan in a friendly at the National Stadium in Singapore on Saturday, despite two goals from Vinicius Junior. Japan were 2-0 up within the first 20 minutes, Kubo having opened the scoring.

Vinicius scored twice, and his second goal levelled the match before Japan regained the lead. Sakamoto scored the third goal in the 91st minute, and Brazil could not respond.

Raphinha and coach Carlo Ancelotti were both shown straight red cards for protesting that goal, Mundo Deportivo reports.
