Brazil capitalized on two costly mistakes from Scotland, burying the Scots, 3-0, in the final group match. Brazil won Group C, marking the 12th consecutive World Cup that the Brazilians finished at the top of their opening table. They nabbed two wins and a draw, while the plus-6 goal differential was their third-best in a group stage. <\/p>\n

Superstar Vinicius Junior dazzled once again with a brace after converting both Scotland turnovers deep near their net. Matheus Cunha nabbed the final goal. Both Vini Junior and Cunha have tallied three goals in their last two matches.<\/p>\n

After missing the first two matches of the World Cup, legendary Brazilian forward Neymar Jr. made his return against Scotland. He logged a small sample of minutes but looked slow and heavy on the pitch. Neymar is expected to play in a reserve role once again. <\/p>\n

World-class winger Raphinha will miss his second match in a row after suffering a hamstring injury in the first half against Haiti.<\/p>\n

Alisson remains a steady wall for the South American powerhouse. The goalkeeper saved 10 of the 11 shots on target he faced in group play. <\/p>\n

Brazil has reached eight straight quarterfinals, the longest active streak of any country. The Selecao have won seven of their 10 meetings against Japan. <\/p>\n

Japan, currently riding a 10-match unbeaten streak, is making its appearance in the Round of 32 for the third consecutive World Cup and the fifth time in the last seven tournaments. The Japanese finished runner-up to Netherlands in Group F, tallying one win and two draws. It marked the second time in its history that Japan went undefeated in a group stage. <\/p>\n

It was a well-balanced performance from Japan as five different players found the back of the net twice. Ayase Ueda and Daizen Maeda look to be the most punishing pieces heading into the knockout rounds. <\/p>\n

The Samurai Blue will need to implement Morocco\u2019s stalemate blueprint from weeks ago: outwit the Brazilians in the midfield and push the wide rush high. Embrace the tactical chess match. When the chances are there, send the house.<\/p>\n

The defense has shown some weaknesses against top-tier competition. They conceded two goals against Netherlands in group play before drawing level. <\/p>\n

Japan defeated Brazil, 3-2, in a friendly last October in Tokyo. The Japanese orchestrated a furious comeback after trailing 2-0 at the half. The Samurai Blue added to their resume by downing England at Wembley in March. <\/p>\n
