What happened last time out?

Well, what happened is that Brazil almost had their pants pulled down by a superb Socceroos display, salvaged only by the latest of late goals in Townsville.
Nestory Irankunda slotted a free kick of supreme quality to open the scoring, before Rayan's last-second header salvaged a draw in front of 25,440.

Good evening and welcome!

Hello everyone and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of the Socceroos' second match against Brazil!
My name is Simon Smale and I am on site at Lang Park for tonight's match, where a wave of yellow, green and gold has descended and, as I walked to the ground, was circling around the entrances waiting for the party to get going.
Now, the gates have opened and that mass of humanity is flooding into the stands as we speak, for what promises a special night of action.
We have a sell out crowd for a soccer match at Lang Park the first time since the FIFA Women's World Cup third/fourth play off in 2023, and that's pretty exciting if you ask me.
