Brazil National Team beat Australia 4-2 this Tuesday (29)

Brazil beat Australia 4-2 this Tuesday (29) at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Vanderson, Raphinha, Bruno Guimarães, and Vinicius Júnior scored Brazil’s goals in the match. The clash was Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s second friendly against the Australians during this FIFA window.

HOW DID THE MATCH BETWEEN BRAZIL AND AUSTRALIA START?

Ancelotti’s side came out sharp and opened the scoring just 2 minutes in, with Vanderson finding the net in the team’s first attack of the match. However, in the 29th minute, Australia equalized through Cicarti. Then, three minutes later, in the 32nd minute, the home side turned the game around with a goal from Connor Metcalfe.

HOW DID BRAZIL FIND THE EQUALIZER BEFORE HALFTIME?

In the 42nd minute of the first half, the referee went to VAR and confirmed a penalty after Danilo was fouled. From the spot, Raphinha struck it hard into the right corner. Even though he guessed the right side, the Australian goalkeeper could not keep it out. As a result, the first half ended level at 2-2 after three minutes of stoppage time.

WHAT CHANGED IN THE SECOND HALF?

Brazil came back from the break with the same intensity as in the first half, pushing forward. In the 20th minute of the second half, a mass confrontation broke out on the field after a challenge between Endrick and Harry Souttar.

Once tempers had cooled, in the 23rd minute, Vinicius Júnior burst down the left at speed and passed to Endrick. Endrick then left the ball for Bruno Guimarães to simply tap into the net.

Ten minutes later, in the 33rd minute, Vinicius Júnior nutmegged his marker and was then brought down for a penalty. With regular taker Raphinha off the field due to thigh discomfort, the Cria do Ninho took the spot kick. With a little stutter in the run-up, Vinicius Júnior placed it into the lower-left corner to make it 4-2.

It is worth remembering that, in the first friendly of this FIFA window, Brazil had only managed a 1-1 draw against the same Australia side. That match took place at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville.

HOW DID FLAMENGO’S PLAYERS FARE IN THE MATCH?

In the 37th minute of the second half, Samuel Lino, Flamengo’s left winger, came on for Vinicius Júnior. As a result, the red-and-black No. 11 stayed on the field until the end of the match, at 49 minutes, totaling around 12 minutes of action. Pedro, another red-and-black forward, remained on the bench for the entire match.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S FINAL MATCH IN THIS FIFA WINDOW?

After the two matches against Australia, Brazil will close out this FIFA window against India. The match will take place on Saturday (03) at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. It will be the first meeting in history between the two national teams.
