Match Recap (Via Australian National Team) - Australia were gifted the perfect start through Poliana’s own goal, with the Brazil defender heading Elise Kellond-Knight’s corner past goalkeeper Barbara in the eighth minute.
And it was another corner delivery, this time from Emily van Egmond, that allowed Tameka Butt to double the lead shortly before half time.
Van Egmond’s cross floated over the arms of Barbara before bouncing off the knees of Daiane, leaving the Australian midfielder to send a stooping header into an empty net.
While two set piece errors were Brazil’s undoing in a physical opening half, there was no doubting the class of Australia’s third.
