Game

Australia played a physical defensive 5-4-1 relying on the long ball to their lone player up front, but Brazil never looked in danger in the match with a 2-1 ratio in shots on goal. Their bunker- like defense worked hard and managed to contain Brazil. The loss means that their next match against Greece could mean the difference between staying in or going home.
