JAPAN 3 - 2 Brazil: ANCELOTTI, RAPHINHA SENDING OFF

Manager Carlo Ancelotti and captain Raphinha were both sent off as Brazil were beaten by a stoppage-time winner in a friendly against Japan in Singapore.

Ancelotti and Raphinha were dismissed on the touchline in the aftermath of Coventry City winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto bundling home in the 91st minute.

Brazil had appealed for a foul in the build-up when Aston Villa midfielder Joao Gomes was dispossessed.

There were further protests after the final whistle with security personnel stepping in to separate various Brazil players from the officials, including Singaporean referee Jansen Foo.
