TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Japan fought back from a two-goal deficit to beat Brazil for the first time Tuesday, 3-2, in a friendly at Ajinomoto Stadium.<\/p>\n

Ayase Ueda scored the winning goal with a header in the 71st minute, and the packed crowd erupted in joy.<\/p>\n

Japan achieved a historic first victory over the South American powerhouse in their 14th attempt.<\/p>\n

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti made several changes to the side that won 5-0 against South Korea four days ago, but the five-time world champions continued their strong form in Seoul with a dominant first half in the Japanese capital.<\/p>\n

Goals from Paulo Enrique and Gabriel Martinelli made it look like the visitors had taken the lead at half-time, sealing their 12th victory over Japan.<\/p>\n

However, seven minutes after the restart, Takumi Minamino took advantage of a mistake by Fabricio Bruno and scored a goal from inside the area. Just after the first hour, Japan tied the score when Keito Nakamura’s shot deflected off Bruno.<\/p>\n

Both teams have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n
