Watch out for Yuzuki Yamamoto, a player who has been known for her goals in this tournament and could be a difference maker for the Japanese in Sunday's Grand Final.

In addition to being the captain and the order in the central defense, Karen dos Santos de Lima is the official penalty taker and has a good aerial game and could be helping her team through fixed tactics.

It should be remembered that the other semi-final to be played a little before this one will be the clash between Spain and the Netherlands.

While Japan has not looked so dominant, but they have been effective at the time of doing so; in the group stage they had a perfect pass by defeating Holland, Ghana and eliminating the United States; in the last round they had to go all the way to penalties after a 3-3 draw, to eliminate France 5-3; remembering that they are the current champions of this category.

Brazil has shown a dominant performance in this tournament, as they have not yet lost in the World Cup of this category; although they started with a draw against Spain, they later defeated Costa Rica and Australia; in the Quarter-Final round they suffered a little, but ended up beating a tough Colombia by the minimum difference.

The Brazil vs Japan match will be played at the Nacional of Costa Rica Stadium, in San Jose, Costa Rica. The kick-off is scheduled at 22:00 pm ET.
