Japan powered past Brazil by scoring two goals in four minutes on Saturday, as Asako Takakura's side set up a mouthwatering winner-takes-all finale for the SheBelieves Cup next week.
Brazil headed into the match in need of a response from their opening match - a loss to England - while Japan looked to build on their encouraging draw with the USA. The round-robin tournament sees each side play the other teams once, with the nation with the most points crowned the winners.
At the end of a tense first half, Japan took the lead, as 22-year-old Yuka Momiki lobbed the Brazil goalkeeper with an audacious chip.
