📝 Australia launch stunning comeback to beat Brazil | OneFootball

Australia came from two goals down to earn an incredible win against Brazil in Montpellier.

Both sides were evenly matched early on, with defences standing firm heading away cross after cross.

But after 25 minutes, Elise Kellond-Knight brought down Leticia Santos in the box and a penalty was awarded.

Marta – fresh from injury – slotted home with typical confidence, becoming the first player to score in five different editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Then just before half-time it was Brazil who struck again through hat-trick hero Cristiane.

Lurking in the box, she directed a brilliant Debinha cross past Lydia Williams, leaving Australia with a mountain to climb.

Or so we thought! Caitlin Foord got one back for the Matildas in injury time, tapping home from close range after excellent work from Chloe Logarzo.

The game became ridiculously open after half-time, with Brazil and Australia breaking at pace with each attack, but it was the underdogs who equalised.

A cross-cum-shot from Logarzo caused confusion in the box and trickled past a late dive from Bárbara in goal.

VAR was again at the centre of attention, as Mónica headed into her own net before Samantha Kerr was ruled offside.

But after a check – both in the studio and pitchside – Esther Staubli awarded the goal to widespread cheers in the Stade de la Mosson.

Brazil pushed for an equaliser but struggled to create any clear opportunities, as Australia held out for an unlikely win.
