Japanese striker's feverish goal

Ayase Ueda makes it 3-2 for Japan against Brazil.

In the 71st minute, Ueda jumped high to head the ball into the net of Brazilian goalkeeper Souza, causing the Ajinomoto Stadium to explode with emotion. Despite being approached by 1.92m tall center-back Fabricio Bruno, Ueda – who is only 1.82m tall – still won the aerial battle and brought home the important goal.

This is also Ueda's 10th goal this season, including for Feyenoord and the national team. Ueda is showing brilliant form and has had the most impressive start of his career.

Ueda’s goal also sparked debate among netizens. In addition to comments praising the Japanese player’s jumping ability, many fans criticized Brazil’s midfielder Bruno for his poor defense.

“He’s just big,” one fan wrote. Another commented: “Maybe Carlo Ancelotti needs to look at his defense.” Another fan said: “What I need is Thiago Silva to lead this terrible defense.”

Brazil led 2-0 at half-time through Paulo Henrique and Gabriel Martinelli. However, Ueda, Takumi Minamino and Keito Nakamura helped Japan come back to win a spectacular victory. This was also the first time in history that Japan had beaten Brazil at team level.

Both Japan and Brazil have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, and the clash in Tokyo is a confirmation that they will be formidable opponents at the biggest football festival on the planet.

The embarrassing defeat made Neymar cry. In the early morning of August 18, in the 20th round of the Brazilian National Championship, Santos suffered the biggest defeat in the club's history when they were crushed by Vasco da Gama with a score of 0-6 at Morumbis Stadium.
