🚨 Two stoppage time goals give Japan shock win over Brazil; USA later

All of the Women’s Olympic sides are in action on Sunday for the second match of the group stage.

Here’s what happened.

Japan shock Brazil with two stoppage time goals

Scorers: Jheniffer 56′; Kumagai 90+2 (PEN), Tanikawa 90+6

Japan stunned Brazil with two stoppage time goals that gave them a 2-1 win against all the odds.

A start for legend Marta meant that the 38-year-old has now recorded an incredible 200 appearances for the Seleção, but her side were almost behind just before half-time.

Japan were awarded a penalty for a handball in the area, but Mika Tanaka’s weak effort was saved by Brazil stopper Lorena.

Into the second half and a wonderful long ball forward from Marta created a counter attack that was capped off with a simple finish from Jheniffer.

Another VAR check for handball awarded Japan another penalty, and a chance to try again. The spot-kick was converted by captain Saki Kumagai after the longest of run-ups.

On a different day, Japan might’ve been happy with a point, but they pushed for the winner and Momoko Tanikawa came up with a world-class finish from distance to seal the win in the most dramatic of circumstances.

Still to come
