Following Brazil's golden goal victory 2-1 over Japan in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16, Brazilian international Guimarães gave an interview to SBT.

On Advancing

This victory embodies Brazil's spirit—a team that never gives up. It was an extremely difficult match; Japan consistently deployed defensive counter-attack tactics that gave us no space. After the first half, we realized we needed to intensify our attacks and get more balls into the penalty box. We capitalized on that approach, and Casemiro's goal came from this strategy; we had other chances too.

I'm very pleased with this match, very satisfied with the team's effort, and proud and happy with my own performance. But the most important thing is the team.

Everything happened so quickly. When I received the ball and positioned myself to shoot, I saw everyone blocking my path. I managed to turn and deliver a beautiful pass to Martinelli, who calmly finished it. It's wonderful that a substitute player could determine the match result; it also demonstrates the strength of our squad.
