World Cup 2026: Fixtures for Round of 16

Brazil became the second team to book their spot in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, thanks to a 2-1 win over Japan on Monday night.

Selecao were stunned in the first half, after Kaishu Sano opened the scoring for the Asian champions.

But after the break, Carlo Ancelotti brought on Endrick to sharpen up his side’s attack.

The substitution paid dividends as Casemiro rose highest to head in Gabriel’s cross for the equalizer.

With the game drifting away into extra time, Bruno Guimaraes found Gabriel Martinelli inside the area and the Arsenal forward found the bottom corner.

Brazil join co-hosts Canada in the next round and will face either Norway or Cote d’Ivoire.
