Brazil had no problem seeing off the Socceroos tonight at the MCG.
Seleção scored four well worked goals, in a dominating performance led by Captain Phillipe Coutinho.
In fact, it only took 12 seconds for the Worlds number one ranked team to score the first goal. Australia attempted to press Brazil from the word go, and were punished for it. Diego Souza scoring his first ever goal for Brazil to humiliate Australia on home soil. It’s Souza’s first ever goal for Brazil, 2802 days after making his debut against Bolivia.

Australia struggled to make any impact in the first half. They were simply just spectators to the Brazilians. Socceroos favourite Tim Cahill almost had the chance to put the Aussies level, although he couldn’t connect with the cross.
After the first 28 minutes, Brazil had 78% possession. Absolute domination!
Brazil then proved that they aren’t just world class with their feet, they can head the ball as well! A string of headers from a corner, and some poor Socceroos defending resulted in Brazil’s second goal of the game. This time, it was veteran defender Thiago Silva to head home.
2-0
