Brazil 0 - 1 Australia (World Cup Grp E)
Australia beat Brazil in a brilliant and well-deserved 1 - 0 victory after they worked hard throughout the match.
Tireless midfielder Tim Cahill got Australia off to a flyer by scoring a good header from just inside the six-yard box on 4 minutes. Then followed controversy as Australia were denied claims by striker Scott McDonald for a penalty.
Things went from bad to worse for Brazil as Brazil captain Lúcio earned himself an early bath for ungentlemanly conduct on 73 minutes.
Brazil could have had a harder time of it but their opponents seemed keen to waste possession by shooting from long range.

First corner of the game had Bresciano pick out Cahill in the box to score. Next followed 85 minutes of prayers as we held off the Brazilian talent. Seemed an unlikely scenario after the Ivory Coast pasting, but we're out of the pool stage for the first time ever!
