Brazil survived another scare against Australia to hold off the Socceroos in a fiery six-goal thriller in Brisbane.
After salvaging a 1-1 draw against the same opposition four days prior, Carlo Ancelotti’s side got off to the perfect start through Vanderson’s early strike, but saw the game flipped on its head in the space of four minutes around the half-hour mark.
Alessandro Circati flicked home an equaliser, which was awarded after a VAR check, before Connor Metcalfe’s piledriver put the Socceroos in front.
Raphinha got Brazil level from the spot before half-time and the Selecao were able to take control of the match after the interval, harnessing the boiling tensions between the two sides to score twice through Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Jr.

Australia 2-4 Brazil
87 mins: CLOSE! Agonisingly close for the Socceroos after a scramble from the corner, with a scuffed swing dribbling just wide of the post.
We got more changes either side of that – before the corner was taken, Ancelotti brought on Reis, Dias and Bidon for Danilo, Jair and Mauro Junior.
Then after the miss, Yengi was replaced by Velupillay for Australia.
Australia 2-4 Brazil
85 mins: The life seems like it’s been sucked out of the stadium by that penalty. Australia are going to keep going, but there is less umph to the Socceroos.
Australia 2-4 Brazil
82 mins: Changes to note from both teams.
Samuel Lino and Matheus Martinelli are on for Vinicius and Guimaraes for Brazil.
For the Socceroos, it’s three changes as Geria, Younis and O’Neill come on for Okon-Engstler, Irankunder and Italiano, joining Riley McGree as the newcomers.
GOAL! Australia 2-4 Brazil (Vinicius, 80′)
Vinicius Jr slots home – surely that’s game over!
