Match Commentary

90'
FULL-TIME: Brazil move up a gear and out-play a hard-working Japan; the five-times champs aren't all there yet, but they are certainly improving with every game.
89'
Japan have actually finished the game quite well; they have had a lot of the ball in the last ten minutes, and put the Brazilian defence under a little pressure.
88'
Ogoru is put through the middle; he is one-on-one with Rogerio, but stopped in his tracks by a late off-side flag.
