Brazil vs Australia in Munich

Australia set out to hold their shape and restrict Brazil's movement by keeping the ball and passing it around; backwards, quite often.

But Brazil started and ended the second half with goals, to qualif for the Second Round, while Australia's poor finishing could cost them a place in the knockout stage if they lose to Croatia.

Two minutes after the break, Ronaldinho passed through the middle to Ronaldo. As three defenders blocked the Real Madrid striker's route to goal, he squared the ball for Adriano to beat his marker and score low, just inside the post.

Brazil made sure of victory as substitutes Robinho and Fred, on for Ronaldo and Adriano, combined to beat a stranded Schwarzer. Fred layed the ball out right to Robinho, whose shot cannoned off the post. With Mark Schwarzer still on the floor, all Fred had to do was run up and tap the ball into an open net.

Final Score:
Brazil 2 - Australia 0

Brazil have qualified for the Second Round.

Australia will qualify if they beat Croatia. If Australia only draw with Croatia, they will need to hope that Japan don't beat Brazil and get a better goal difference.

Of course, if Croatia win the game then they'll go through as long as Japan don't beat Brazil by a larger goal difference.
