Outstanding performance
Brazil•AttackerAustralia stunned Brazil with an early Vanderson concession followed by a spirited fightback, with Alessandro Circati and Connor Metcalfe turning a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 lead inside the first half hour. Brazil, wasteful in front of goal despite dominating possession (52%) and territory, needed a Raphinha penalty just before the break to level things at 2-2, setting up a tense second period. The introduction of Endrick and Bruno Guimaraes proved decisive as Brazil's superior quality eventually shone through, with Guimaraes' 69th-minute strike and a late Vinicius Junior penalty sealing a 4-2 win despite Brazil needing 18 shots to Australia's 8 to get the job done. For Australia, the result will sting given how well they matched Brazil for large periods and created 41 dangerous attacks to Brazil's 31, but for Brazil this was a useful workout exposing finishing issues that will need addressing before more serious competition.
