After Brazil's 2-1 comeback victory against Japan in the FIFA World Cup, Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes, who provided the decisive assist, was interviewed by FOX Sports.
How difficult was it to stay patient and control emotions in this match?
Yes, it was difficult. Japan is a very strong team, and they were defending throughout the match, in a 5-4-1 or 5-2-5 formation (as he said)... This was very difficult. When we finished the first half, Ancelotti asked us to get into the box more and try to cross, and everything in the second half was perfect. We controlled the game. We have to give a lot of credit to Japan, they have improved a lot and have a very good team. But in the end, we are happy that we were able to advance. We knew before the game that we had five more finals to play, and now we have four left. We have to take it one game at a time. But for today, wow, it was an amazing game. Yes, we have to keep going.

One mistake cost the Japanese. the second goal was avoidable, had the player cleared the ball but unluckily the ball got off his legs and the Brazilian took advantage of it
