Australia vs Brazil 0-4 Highlights & Goals
International Friendly, 13 June 2017.
0-1 Diego Souza
0-2 Thiago Silva
0-3 Taison
0-4 Diego Souza
Australia 0 Brazil 4: Silva gets golden redemption at MCG
Diego Souza struck twice but an emotional goal for Thiago Silva was the highlight as Brazil beat Australia 4-0 in Melbourne.
Thiago Silva scored a redemptive goal as Brazil eased to a 4-0 win away to a much-changed Australia side, looking to build momentum heading into the Confederations Cup.
Silva was stripped of the Selecao captaincy after their 2014 World Cup capitulation and dropped altogether by Dunga following another poor showing at the Copa America a year later.
The centre-back's effort followed Brazil taking the lead in the 12th second through a first international goal for Diego Souza – selected in place of the injured Gabriel Jesus – before Taison also opened his Selecao account and Souza struck again to wrap things up late on.
Australia recovered their composure and managed to turn pressure back onto the Selecao, Tim Cahill seeing a couple of close-range chances pass by before hooking a tough left-footed shot over the crossbar.
Though the tempo dropped, Brazil looked capable of cutting through the hosts at will, but Douglas Costa could not convert Souza's pull-back and Paulinho could only scuff the Sport Recife striker's touch into him over the crossbar.
Brazil's forwards were struggling to make the most of their opportunities, so defensive pair Rodrigo Caio and Silva took over to double the advantage.
Langerak denied Souza and Taison one-on-one before the latter finally found a way through, latching onto Paulinho's back-heel and stroking across goal.
Stuttgart keeper Langerak made more stunning saves to deny Rodriguinho what would have been a debut goal and prevent Ajdin Hrustic scoring a spectacular own-goal on his international bow, but a chastening outing for Australia was completed when Souza headed home the resulting corner.
