Japan remained winless against Brazil as the Asian champions suffered their worst loss under Alberto Zaccheroni on Tuesday, suffering a humbling 4-0 defeat in a friendly at the hands of the five-time World Cup winners.
The sublime Neymar scored on either side of halftime while Paulinho and Kaka chipped in with a goal each at the Municipal Stadium.
