## Summary

Brazil lost 3-2 to Japan in Singapore after recovering from a two-goal deficit, with the match ending in disorder. Raphinha was sent off for protesting Japan’s stoppage-time winner, and Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti also saw red.

Argentina’s first match since Lionel Messi’s international retirement ended in a 2-1 home defeat to Uruguay. Uruguay scored through an own goal by Leonardo Balerdi and a strike from Maximiliano Araújo before Julián Álvarez replied; Argentina left Messi’s No 10 shirt vacant as it begins a new chapter under Lionel Scaloni, whose contract runs to 2030.
