2025年10月14日晚，國際足球友誼賽迎來一場震撼賽事，日本主場迎戰足球傳統強國巴西。上半場比賽，巴西隊憑藉保羅·恩里克與加布里埃爾·馬丁內利的進球，以2比0領先進入下半場，似乎牢牢掌控了比賽節奏。然而，下半場局勢出現戲劇性逆轉，日本隊展現出驚人的韌性與戰術執行力，最終以3比2完成逆轉，實現隊史首次擊敗巴西的歷史性勝利。

比賽陣容方面，巴西派出維尼修斯、馬丁內利與卡塞米羅先發，中場由帕奎塔與吉馬良斯支援，羅德里戈、理查利松、庫尼亞和埃斯特旺坐在替補席待命。日本方面則以久保建英搭檔南野拓實，堂安律、鎌田大地出戰，中鋒由上田綺世擔任單箭頭，伊東純也則在替補席待命。

比賽開場第26分鐘，巴西隊卡塞米羅在中場送出直塞球，保羅·恩里克接球後冷靜破門，幫助巴西取得1比0領先。僅6分鐘後，第32分鐘，馬丁內利在禁區外抽射破門，巴西將比分擴大至2比0，看似比賽勝負已經提前鎖定。然而，下半場日本隊迅速展現反擊能力。第52分鐘，巴西後場傳球出現失誤，南野拓實抓住機會強力射門得分，日本扳回一城。第62分鐘，伊東純也從右路傳中，中村敬斗在後點包抄射門，球經防守球員折射後入網，日本隊成功扳平比分，將場上氣氛推向高潮。

比賽的轉折點出現在第71分鐘，伊東純也開出角球，上田綺世在禁區內高高躍起，頭球破門，將比分反超至3比2。此後，巴西雖極力反撲，但無法再改寫比分，日本隊守住勝果，最終以3比2擊敗巴西，創造了隊史首次擊敗五星巴西的歷史。

這場比賽不僅展示日本足球在技術與心理上的進步，也打破了長久以來亞洲球隊在面對傳統足球強國時的心理障礙。日本隊能在主場掀翻巴西，不僅令球迷為之沸騰，也象徵著亞洲足球正逐步縮小與世界頂尖球隊的差距，為日本足球歷史留下光輝的一頁。

On the evening of October 14, 2025, an international friendly match delivered a stunning upset as Japan hosted football powerhouse Brazil. In the first half, Brazil appeared to dominate the game, taking a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Paul Henrique and Gabriel Martinelli. However, the second half saw a dramatic turnaround, with Japan displaying remarkable resilience and tactical discipline to ultimately win 3-2, marking the first victory in the nation’s history over Brazil.

Brazil fielded a strong lineup with Vinícius Júnior, Martinelli, and Casemiro starting, supported by Paquetá and G. Guimarães in midfield, while Rodrigo, Richarlison, Cunha, and Estevão remained on the bench. Japan deployed Takefusa Kubo alongside Takumi Minamino in midfield, with Ritsu Dōan and Daichi Kamada on the flanks, Ueda Ayase as the lone striker, and Ito Junya on the bench.

The match opened with Brazil asserting control. In the 26th minute, Casemiro delivered a precise through ball to Paul Henrique, who calmly converted it to make it 1-0. Six minutes later, Martinelli struck from outside the box to extend Brazil’s lead to 2-0, seemingly putting the game out of reach.

Yet Japan responded brilliantly in the second half. In the 52nd minute, a defensive error by Brazil allowed Minamino to take a powerful shot and pull one back for the hosts. Ten minutes later, Ito Junya crossed from the right, and Takato Nakamura followed up at the back post; his shot deflected off a defender into the net, leveling the score at 2-2 and electrifying the crowd.

The decisive moment came in the 71st minute when Ito delivered a corner, and Ueda rose to meet it with a perfectly placed header, giving Japan a 3-2 lead. Despite Brazil’s desperate attempts to respond, Japan held on to secure a historic victory.

This match not only highlighted Japan’s technical and mental progress in football but also shattered long-standing perceptions about Asian teams struggling against traditional football powers. Japan’s triumph over Brazil thrilled fans nationwide and symbolized the rising competitiveness of Asian football, leaving an indelible mark in the country’s football history.
