The first friendly match between Japan and Brazil went to the South American selection with the clear score of 1-6. The Sergio Sapo's squad, which is training in order to break the iranian dominion in the next AFC Champs in Uzbekistan, could not react to the first brazilian "run", with
Carlinhos and
Jonas (double for the Malwee's pivot) determining the 3 goals advantage. The only Kogure, in the last minute of the first half, was able to defeat the John Deere's keeper
Tiago. On may 5th, in Tokyo, there will be the second and last match.
