Shakhtar Donetsk youngsters Alisson Santana and Marlon Gomes made their senior international debuts for Brazil in a friendly against Japan.

Both players came off the bench in the 57th minute, with Brazil trailing 2-1. During his time on the pitch, Alisson recorded one blocked shot and delivered two accurate crosses, making his presence felt in the second half.

Marlon Gomes completed 10 of his 11 attempted passes, also making a positive contribution on his first appearance for the national team.

However, the debutants had little to celebrate as Japan came from behind to claim a 3-2 victory. Vinicius Junior scored both of Brazil's goals, but his brace was not enough to prevent defeat against the Samurai Blue.
