The full lineup Brazil beat Japan 1-0 in a friendly match played in Saitama, five and a half months away from the World Cup in Qatar.
Despite the Brazilian domination, the winning goal came only from a penalty, whistled for a foul on Arana and transformed in the 32nd minute of the second half by Neymar.
Seleçao have thus signed their fifth consecutive victory and have remained undefeated for almost a year, since the defeat against Argentina in the Copa America final on 11 July 2021. They remain unbeaten against Japan (7 wins, 2 draws).
Neymar scored his third goal from a penalty in two games for the national team, after last Thursday's double in Seoul against South Korea (win 5-1).
It is his 74th goal for Brazil, which brings him close to three points from Pele's record.
