90+2 min A late corner for Japan. Can they grab a late consolation? No. Honda is dispossessed and instead Brazil come up the pitch.  90+1 min Three minutes of added time will be played.  89 min So close to a late Japan goal! Kakitani (who managed to slip onto the pitch without me noticing at some point) rises excellently at the near post and has Jefferson diving high to his right to save at full stretch.  88 min Something tells me Neymar is enjoying himself as he pulls off his 29th nutmeg of the match. Brazil have had 62 per cent possession overall.  86 min Japan have paid the price for attempting to get back in this game with the yellow shirts storming forward with pace and oh so much skill at every available opportunity.  84 min Suzuki comes on for Shibasaki but you don't care about that do you? This is the Neymar show.  GOAL! Brazil 4-0 Japan (Neymar) This is ridiculous. I tell you what though - this was all Kaka and Robinho. The two members of the old guard transport us back to 2008 with a beautiful flowing move down the left that saw them pass to each other no fewer than five times. Kaka then looks up, dinks a glorious ball to the far post where You-Know-Who is waiting to head it in.  79 min We should of course remind ourselves that he is only playing Japan today. They are no Swansea City are they?  GOAL! Brazil 3-0 Japan (Neymar) There it is. What a game he has had. The Brazil captain delivers a cross perfectly onto Kaka's head and the man who has been on the pitch for a matter of seconds directs it against the crossbar! Back out it comes to Coutinho whose shot is palmed away straight to Neymar and he taps it in.  76 min A MASSIVE roar echoes round the National Stadium as 32-year-old Kaka replaces Elias. FYI Kaka currently plays for Sao Paolo on loan from Orlando City.  72 min Struggling to keep on top of all these substitutions. Hosogai has come on for Tanaka and Luiz Gustavo has done likewise for Souza to make his Brazil debut.  71 min Robinho still looks 15.  70 min Neymar steps over once, twice, three times, four times before playing in an unmarked Robinho, whose finish is virtually identical to Coutinho's a few minutes ago. Hence it going wide.  68 min Good work down the left for Japan with Muto delivering a good ball in the direction of Honda inside the six-yard box. Miranda is marginally quicker than the Japan substitute though and the ball is cleared.  66 min Japan are starting to throw bodies forward which means a) They could score. b) Brazil almost certainly will score. c) It's rather enjoyable.  64 min HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE comes Robinho (in place of Tardelli)  This quote isn't new but it seems somewhat appropriate:  63 min Oh that is sublime. Neymar, with his back to goal, makes a mockery of the two defenders marking him, slots in Coutinho and the Liverpool's curled effort just slips wide of the far post. I'm struggling to do justice to how well Neymar is playing.  60 min The crowd go wild for a Neymar hattrick!!!! Slight problem: the ball isn't in the Japan goal. Ribeiro, Coutinho and Neymar combine for a sumptuous break which reaches a climax with the Brazil captain on the ball at the far post. He cuts inside past the defender scampering back, wrongfoots Kawasha, but sticks his shot inches wide.  54 min But Japan have another great chance! Forward they come on the counter-attack with ball sent out wide to Okazaki and the forward leathers the ball from a tight angle against the near post! Not sure whether that would have gone in if it had beaten Jefferson but it's certainly a wake-up call for Brazil.  52 min What a save! Neymar wins a corner, which he curls deep to the far post where Miranda has been totally forgotten by the Japanese defence. The centre-back puts his foot through the ball and it looks to be heading for the back of the net only for Kawasha to turn it round the post at full stretch.  52 min We already seem to have reached that point in the match where substitutions turn it into something of a farce. This time Kobayashi heads off for Muto. That's five substitutions in total now. Still no sign of Kaka or Robinho.  51 min Well I was about to say that Japan will be looking for Honda to propel them forward, but his task is now a great deal harder. The more they try and attack, the more susceptible they will be to Brazil's potent attack.  GOAL! Brazil 2-0 Japan (Neymar) It really is this simple: Neymar is far superior to everyone else on the pitch. Huge credit to Coutinho who picks the ball up on the halfway line and threads it beautifully through the Japan defence with the outside of his boot. Neymar is left with a one-on-one against Kawasha and makes him look foolish by sucking him in and slotting the ball into the corner.  46 min Some half-time changes to tell you about. Japan have brought Honda on for Morioka, while Brazil have removed Oscar, Willian and Danilo for Coutinho, Ribeiro and Fernandes.  12.46 That record below is quite frankly ridiculous  Neymar Age: 22 Games: 58 Goals: 37 Assists: 23  Half time Not totally sure what to make of that. It will come as no surprise to say Brazil are the better team. The sheer presence of Neymar is enough to terrorise the Japan defence and the Brazil captain looks threatening with every touch. And yet Japan have had a handful of decent chances to score. Back soon.  45+1 min ...Mayhem. The cross goes deep to the far post where Tanaka's shot thuds into the floor and seems to whack into about 12 players in one big melee. Suddenly Shiotani opens his eyes, finds the ball at his feet and boots it well wide.  45 min There is one minute of added time and Japan have a corner with Miranda having headed the ball behind his own goal...  44 min To be fair to Japan, they have tightened up their defence which has left Brazil knocking the ball around nonchalantly on the halfway line.  43 min Andre Schurrle has flu. Nothing to do with this match but there has been little of note in the past five minutes so I thought you would like some footballer illness information. You're welcome.  41 min I think Brazil are playing for half-time. Or maybe full-time.  40 min With Brazil playing keep-ball, the Singapore crowd occupy themselves with a Mexican Wave. No chants of "It's just like watching Brazil" at the moment. Just give the ball to Neymar.  36 min Brazil look far and away the more threatening team but again Japan have a good chance to equalise. This time it is Okazaki who finds some space inside the penalty area but his diving header rolls about a metre wide of Jefferson's upright.  35 min Brazil are starting to look mightily dangerous going forward with Willian and Oscar keen to strut their stuff. Mind you, the defending is tougher in Cobham than in Singapore.  32 min How Neymar could have done with Tardelli during the World Cup. The Brazil captain makes fools of the Japan defence with a beautifully disguised backheel and Tardelli is able to predict the chaos perfectly by running onto the end of it. No end product but football isn't about end product is it? Is it??  30 min Look who's in the stadium enjoying the action - it's only Maria Sugarpova:  27 min Kobayashi has come to life now earning a free-kick on the edge of the Brazil penalty area. It will be Tanaka to take... but he hits it into the wall. In fact there are some loud appeals for handball and replays show it did indeed smash into Luis Gustavo's outstretched arm. Lucky boy. That could (and perhaps should) have been a penalty.  24 min Where did that come from? A great chance for Kobayashi to equalise on debut. The superbly-named Gil fluffs his clearance inside the Brazil penalty area and Kobayashi hoicks his leg into an impressively awkward position, leathers the ball from behind him on the volley and it flies over the bar with Jefferson beaten.  21 min He's tearing them to pieces! This time Neymar is up against four Japanese defenders, takes Shiotani on down the outside, leaves him for dead and fires his shot past Kawasha and inches wide of the far post. He's a bit too good to be allowed to play in this match. Bring Robinho on.  GOAL! Brazil 1-0 Japan (Neymar) The Singapore crowd can go home happy. Barely a minute after smacking the woodwork, Neymar is played through beautifully by Tardelli. The Barcelona man sucks Kawasha out of his goal and then rounds him before thumping the ball into the net.  17 min Up steps Neymar, dinks the ball over the wall and HITS THE ANGLE BETWEEN POST AND BAR! What a cracker. Kawasha was standing and watching hopelessly in goal.  15 min Brazil are starting to look more comfortable as this game gets into full swing. Oscar plays in Neymar and the Japan defence turn to weeping babies at his feet as they are forced to yank the Brazil captain back and concede a free-kick 22 yards out.  12 min Here goes Neymar. The Brazil captain beats one, beats two and attempts to beat a third inside the Japan 18-yard box but is blocked off by Morishige. Was he brought down off the ball? Is that a penalty? The crowd are convinced (although I'm not sure they really care about anything other than Neymar scoring) but the referee says no.  11 min FOUL THROW! Yes. Nothing will surpass that moment in these 90 minutes as Sakai is pulled up for throwing the ball onto the pitch in an illegal manner.  10 min Brazil have barely started. It's almost like they don't care about beating Japan in a friendly in October in Singapore. Japan may never have beaten today's opponents in six attempts but they are giving it their all from the outset.  8 min No guesses who the 55,000 supporters in the ground have come to see. There are huge roars whenever Neymar touches the ball. Forward come Japan though and Danilo is forced to hoof the ball clear with Tanaka bearing down on him.  6 min As said slightly earlier, Japan warmed up for this game by playing Jamaica. Which is similar to having a kebab the day before going to a Michelin-starred restaurant. Aguirre's side are certainly holding their own in the early exchanges though.  4 min This opening three minutes have been played in Brazil's half so far. I can't say I have much confidence that such a theme will last although Tanaka has just had the first dig of the game. It really was a dig. Imagine the kind of effort an overweight, hungover centre-back would have on a Sunday morning. No trouble for Jefferson.  1 min Football has begun and Felipe Luis has just been described as a "Chelsea star". Not sure who this commentator is but I, for one, would disagree with him.  11.45 The players are out. Let's do football.  11.42 Don't skip school kids. Just follow the game on your phone in class with this live blog. "The Telegraph: Helping children get a good education"  11.35 So Robinho, of Real Madrid, Manchester City, AC Milan and now Santos fame, has been brought back into the Brazil fold and Dunga kindly gave him the chance to prove his worth by bringing him on in the 95th-minute against Argentina. Which allowed the Internet LOLsters to produce this heat map:  11.30 Japan managed to score just two goals and pick up one point from their World Cup campaign despite having been placed in arguably the easiest group in the tournament. Since then they have lost against Uruguay, drawn against the might of Venezuala and thumped Jamaica, erm, 1-0. The bad news for new manager Javier Aguirre is that star man Shinji Kagawa is only fit enough to make the bench today.  11.25 What can I tell you about the recent history of these two arch-rivals teams? Let's start with Brazil.  Since the nightmare end to their World Cup (surely you haven't forgotten the 7-1 defeat), Luiz Felipe Scolari has been given the boot and that man Dunga is back. The old gaffer has in turn brought back two players-who-used-to-be-good-but-turned-out-not-to-be-as-good-as-hoped in Kaka and Robinho ... and his side are now unbeaten in their last three friendlies, most recently beating Argentina 2-0 in Beijing on Saturday.  11.20 I have some teams for you. Which is a relief. Because a football match is not really a football match without teams:  Brazil: Jefferson; Danilo, Miranda, Gil, Filipe Luís; Luiz Gustavo, Elias; Willian, Oscar; Diego Tardelli, Neymar.  Japan: Kawasha; Ota, Shiotani, Sakai; Morishige, Tanaka, Taguchi, Morioka, Shibasaki; Okazaki, Kobayashi.  11.10 Good morning folks. Guess what, we have some live lunchtime football on a Tuesday for you. What larks. What joy. It's Brazil v Japan in Singapore of course.
