Vinicius on fire! Two stunning goals turn Brazil's nightmare against Japan around – VIDEO
Vinícius Júnior is putting on a spectacular show for Brazil!
Details: During Saturday's international friendly against Japan at the National Stadium in Singapore, the Real Madrid winger produced two magnificent goals to rescue Brazil from a two-goal deficit. Vinícius first found the net in the 33rd minute, before completing his brace with another brilliant finish in the 75th minute.
The match had started disastrously for Carlo Ancelotti's side. Takefusa Kubo opened the scoring in the 15th minute, and just four minutes later Keito Nakamura doubled Japan's advantage. However, Vinícius brought the Seleção back into the contest with a sensational long-range strike after receiving a pass from Bruno Guimarães.
But the Brazilian superstar was not finished! In the 75th minute, Vinícius struck again, scoring his second goal of the afternoon and bringing the score level at 2-2. Both finishes were spectacular, transforming what had initially looked like a nightmare for Brazil into a remarkable comeback.
It's worth noting that Brazil and Japan previously met in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup, when the Seleção claimed a 2-1 victory. Brazil's next scheduled international friendly is against Singapore on November 17.
