Brazil come from behind to beat Australia 4-2 in friendly

BRISBANE, SEPT 29: Brazil came from behind to beat a gallant Australia 4-2 in an entertaining friendly in front of over 52,000 fans in Brisbane on Tuesday.

The five-time World Cup winners scored two goals late in the second half to see off a Socceroos outfit who have only beaten their illustrious opponents once in their history.

The South Americans needed a last-minute goal to salvage a draw in their first match in Townsville on Friday, but turned in an improved performance to emerge victorious in the second part of their double-header.

"It was a difficult game, Australia is a very good team," Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti said.

"It was a good quality game, they played with intensity and they have good quality and are very strong physically."

Brazil opened the scoring in the third minute when full-back Vanderson found space on the edge of the box and fired a powerful volley past a diving Patrick Beach.

It was almost 2-0 seconds later when Brazil stole the ball off the kick-off and broke for goal, but two good saves in succession from Beach denied the visitors.

The Socceroos settled after the frantic start and began to put on some pressure.

They were rewarded in the 28th minute when a Connor Metcalfe corner was deflected off a Brazilian defender and Alessandro Circati skewed the ball into the back of the net.

Metcalfe put Australia 2-1 ahead five minutes later when he found himself in space outside the box and fired a powerful drive into the top right corner. But in a breathless first half, Brazil captain Raphinha equalised from the penalty spot after his counterpart Harry Souttar fouled Danilo with a reckless challenge. �"AFP
