Friendly, another poor showing for Ancelotti's Brazil

Friendly, another poor showing for Ancelotti's Brazil Brazil got away with one... In their first match since the 2026 World Cup, Brazil faced Australia in a friendly this Friday at noon. Three months after their unfortunately historic round-of-16 elimination from the World Cup by Norway (0-2), the Seleção snatched a 1-1 draw against the Socceroos in the very last moments of the match thanks to a goal from Rayan (90+5'). Australia had opened the scoring twenty minutes before the final whistle thanks to a stunning free-kick from Sporting's 20-year-old forward Nestory Irankunda (69'). Another disappointing result for Brazil and Carlo Ancelotti, who had nevertheless fielded a strong lineup. Endrick, Vinicius, Raphinha, Estêvão: the auriverde attacking quartet named in the starting lineup failed to find a breakthrough against the team ranked 28th in the FIFA standings. Yet another troubling result for the five-time world champions, who will face Australia again in four days. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
