Friendly: Brazil beat Australia
After being held to a 1-1 draw by the same team four days ago, Brazil this time defeated Australia (4-2) on Tuesday in a friendly in Sydney.
Indeed, after Monaco's Vanderson quickly opened the scoring (3rd minute), the Socceroos took the lead thanks to two goals in five minutes from Circati (28th) and Metcalfe (33rd). But key players for the Canarinha, Raphinha (45th, pen.), Bruno Guimarães (69th) and Vinicius Jr (80th, pen.), soon helped Brazil win this exhibition match (2-4).
This victory will boost Brazilian morale, as every match appears difficult. Carlo Ancelotti continues his extensive review of the squad, including several players from the Brazilian league, with the aim of gradually rebuilding a national team that meets expectations. The CBF seems ready to give him the necessary time. Brazil will play one final match during this international window, on Saturday in Calcutta against India, possibly without Raphinha, who went off injured at half-time.
