Kick-Off: 18:00 Local (17:00 BST) Assistant referees: Christian Schraer (Germany) Jan-Hendrik Salver (Germany) Fourth official: Marco Rodríguez (Mexico) Fifth official: Leonel Leal (Costa Rica) Man of the Match: Zé Roberto (Brazil) Goals from Adriano and substitute Fred sealed Brazil's place in the last 16 with a win over a gallant Australia. The Socceroos' well-organised defence frustrated Brazil until Ronaldo squared for Adriano to score from 18 yards. Harry Kewell blasted over an unguarded goal and Mark Viduka's lob landed on top of the net as Australia battled back and came close several times. But Fred tapped home the second for the unconvincing holders after fellow sub Robinho's shot came back off the post. Their second win sees them almost stumble through to the knockout stages.

Comments:

This win confirmed Brazil's progress in to the knockout stages. Brazil extend their competition record to nine consecutive wins in World Cup finals matches. With his fifth yellow card in 18 appearances in the World Cup finals, Cafu equals the competition record jointly held by Lothar Matthaus (Germany) and Eddie Pope (USA).

Comments:

Despite scoring three goals in the last six minutes of their previous game against Japan, Australia have now failed to score in four of their five World Cup final matches. Brett Emerton won his 50th cap for Australia in this game.
