Ancelotti to tweak Brazil side v Australia; Pedro, Lino eye starts | OneFootball

When will the second friendly between Brazil and Australia take place?

Brazil drew 1-1 with Australia this Friday (25) in its first friendly after the 2026 World Cup. In a press conference, head coach Carlo Ancelotti was asked about possible changes for the next match and confirmed that he will make changes to the lineup.

— We played like we did today, with three midfielders. That is a path we have to follow, and that we will follow in the future. Sometimes we will play with today’s system, and we can also play with three midfielders — he said, before concluding:

— That’s why these are tests right now, to see what works. The team will change a little (for the next game), not much, but a little. We’ll make some changes to give other players some minutes — Carlo Ancelotti concluded.

How did the Brazil vs. Australia match go?

In a lackluster match played on a pitch in terrible condition, Brazil came close to losing. In the first half, Brazil even scored through Estêvão, but the goal was eventually disallowed by the referee.

In the second half, from a free kick, Nestory Irankunda fired one into the top corner and Hugo Souza did not even move. Even so, Brazil managed to equalize with the last kick of the game. The goal came from a header by Rayan after a Brazil corner kick.

How did Pedro and Samuel Lino perform?

Pedro and Samuel Lino were brought on by Carlo Ancelotti in the 20th minute of the second half. However, the Flamengo players were unable to create any scoring chances for Brazil. Now, they will wait to see whether they can start the next friendly among the starting 11.
