  "account": "In a thrilling friendly football match at the National Stadium in Singapore on Saturday, Japan stunned Brazil 3-2 in injury time. Substitute Tatsuhiro Sakamoto scored the winning goal with a deflected effort in stoppage time, despite Brazil's best efforts. Vinicius Junior had given Brazil a 2-0 lead with two goals in the first 19 minutes, with a brace from Takefusa Kubo and Keito Nakamura putting Japan ahead. However, Sakamoto's late goal proved to be the turning point as Japan edged out Brazil with a dramatic victory in front of 38,688 fans. The match marked the first time the teams had faced each other since Brazil's 2-1 win in the round of 32 at the World Cup in June.",
  "summary": "Japan led through two early goals before Vinicius Junior scored twice to level the match, but Tatsuhiro Sakamoto struck late to secure victory for the Samurai Blue.",
