Gabriel Martinelli scored a stoppage-time winner for Brazil to beat plucky Japan 2-1 in the round of 32 at the World Cup on Monday.
Kaishu Sano's first-half opener gave Japan real hope to cause an all-time upset but Casemiro headed home an equaliser after 56 minutes.
Martinelli then struck six minutes into added time to break Japan's hearts and ensure the five-time winners advanced beyond this tough test.
It was Brazil's latest goal in normal time to win a World Cup game.
Vinícius Júnior, who has scored four goals in this year's tournament, had a chance to put Brazil on top in the 58th minute but his shot from the left box was deflected by Zion Suzuki and went off the far post.
Casemiro left in the first minute of second-half stoppage time with what appeared to be a leg injury.
