‘We should do so much, much better’
Here is Arsenal star Bruno Guimarães.
He is not happy with how they played.
“Average, to be fair,” he says of the team’s performance.
“I think we should do so much, much better.
“We travel so far, and we’re still not in our level.
“The pitch was a little bit difficult as well today, we couldn’t pass the ball properly.
“We got a draw and I’m hopeful we can perform better in the next game, because the level that we have in the squad, we can definitely play better.”
He is asked what Carlo Ancelotti said at half time.
“I think he is not happy with the performance today. So am I.”

‘Good goal. Good goal’: Irankunda on that goal
Here is Nestory Irankunda.
“I mean, good goal, good goal,” he says on Channel 10.
Well, yeah.
“I’ve done it before and to do it again today against a top team in Brazil, it’s amazing,” he adds.
“It’s what we’ve been working on, trying to play out from the back.
“You can see tonight that it worked.
“I still think there’s place for improvement but we’ve got time before the Asian Cup.
“Sometimes the ball goes outside the training ground. Sometimes I miss completely.
“For it to go in today, it felt good. You see there, beautiful.”
He says that he’s “really disappointed” not to get the win.

90+4′ GOAL BRAZIL!
Raphinha delivers the corner.
It’s a thumping header from Rayan that goes through the hand of Pat Beach.
The Socceroos keeper just can’t keep it out.
Off the crossbar and down over the line.
Heartbreak for the Socceroos.

90+4′ Corner Brazil
Jason Geria fends a cross behind for the Socceroos.
One more chance you’d think for Brazil.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 10:06pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 10:06pm
90+3′ Free kick Brazil
Aiden O’Neil fouls Raphinha on the edge of the penalty area.
The Brazilians take it quickly though, opting not to go for goal.
Perhaps it was a bit too far out.

90+2′ Corner Brazil
Samuel Lino delivers a cross from the left, but Herrington head it behind for a corner.
Raphinha delivers near post. He gets another chance and over hits it past Beach and out for a goal kick.
Two minutes for the Socceroos to hang on.

90+1′ There will be four added minutes

90′ Chance Brazil
Samuel Lino races down the left side and delivers an audacious pass with the outside of his right boot into the centre of the field.
But despite there being two Brazilian players in attendance, they can’t fashion a chance and Jackson Irvine smashes the ball away.
That’s his last involvement, as he walks wearily off the pitch.

88′ Brazil continues to dominate possession
Oh the pressure is building on them now though.
Carlo Ancelotti is as impassable as ever on the sideline, but there has to be a flicker of concern on his face as he stands on the edge of his technical area.
The Brazil rebuild is going to take time, but a result like this might mean that even he isn’t going to be given it.

84′ Debut for Marcus Younis
Aiden O’Neill and Jason Geria come on as well for the Socceroos.
But it’s a debut for 21-year-old Marcus Younis that the crowd is applauding.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:56pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:56pm
82′ Double Brazil corner
Connor Metcalf concedes a corner over on the far side of the field.
Then Jair’s header is thumped behind by Lucas Herrington.
It’s backs against the wall stuff here.
Herrington again turns a cross away before Behich wins a freekick.

79′ Brazil starting to boss possession
Time is running out for the Brazilians, but they certainly don’t want to walk away from this one without laying a couple of punches of their own.
The yellow shirts have set up a siege on the outskirts of the Socceroos penalty area and the Socceroos are being forced further and further back in defence, all 11 men 20 metres from their own goal line.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:49pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:49pm
76′ Irankunda is off
Riley McGree is on for the Socceroos.
Brazil have made a couple of changes too, Jair and Rayan are both on.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:45pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:45pm
72′ Double chance Brazil!
Two brilliant pieces of defence!
First, a cross from the left is brilliantly fended away by Lucas Herrington.
The ball is then played back to Samuel Lino on the edge of the penalty area, who thumps the ball at wicked pace right into the forehead of Harry Souttar, who goes down like he’s been shot.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:44pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:44pm
71′ Two corners for Brazil
Aziz Behich does well to deny Brazil the chance to get the ball into the box.
And he has a word too!
The confidence is flowing through the Socceroos now – they have been superb today.
Fri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:43pmFri 25 Sep 2026 at 9:43pm
What a goal
What a screamer! Get in! Irankunda can do it on a humid Tuesday night in Townsville – and against Brazil. Brilliant!
– Andrew
That was very, very special.

68′ Socceroos free kick in a dangerous position
Douglas Luiz fouls Paul Okon-Engstler about 20 yards from goal on the left edge of the penalty area.
It was revenge of sorts.
Okon-Engstler crunched Luiz a couple of minutes ago.
