Australia complete epic comeback against Brazil

Australia have rallied from two goals down to seal a stunning 3-2 win over Brazil in their second group match at the Women's World Cup.

After a bright start from the Matildas, VAR was required to rule on a possible penalty for the green and gold in the 20th minute only for a handball earlier in the play to deny Australia a spot-kick.

Brazil would then go up the other end and win a penalty of their own with VAR ruling Elise Kellond-Knight was guilty of shirt pulling inside the box.
