Brazil avoid extra time as they come from behind to beat Japan 2-1 in their World Cup last-32 match. The game is decided in stoppage time when Gabriel Martinelli scores a winner, finishing deep into the 95th minute to send Brazil into the last 16. Multiple reports describe the goal as a late effort that finds the far post after Brazil create the opportunity late in the match.

Martinelli is quoted as expressing the intensity of the moment after scoring, saying he cannot explain how he feels. All sources agree on the scoreline and the timing of the decisive goal, which completes Brazil’s comeback to reach the last 16.
