One win, two draws and five points is not the most emphatic way Japan could have qualified from its World Cup group, but after a 1-1 tie with Sweden in Dallas, all eyes now shift to a familiar, formidable foe in the round of 32: Brazil. 
Following an uneventful first half, Daizen Maeda scored for Hajime Moriyasu’s side in the 56th minute, converting Ritsu Doan’s perfectly pitched through ball after some clever buildup play. 
Sweden drew level six minutes later, however, through a curling Anthony Elanga shot from the corner of the penalty area. 
It was a well-taken strike, but one that goalkeeper Zion Suzuki may feel he should have reacted to earlier.
