Anyhow，巴西這場比賽在防守上出了太大問題。
讓俗稱 Aussie 的澳洲人在上半場就以 2：0 領先。
隨後進入下半場只進行 2 分鐘後，澳洲再度攻破巴西大門！
直到此時巴西才不得不把所有可以放上去的武器、壓箱寶全丟到前場去進攻。
即便最後 15 分鐘趕回 2 球，卻還是免不了這場敗仗。
澳洲也因為這場比賽的勝利確定可以小組第一的席位晉級下一輪。
這場比賽的文字報導相當活潑生動，宛如大戰就在眼前上演一般！

Danze leads the way as Australia stun Brazil (2-3)
(FIFA.com) 29 Nov 2003
Australia pulled off the biggest surprise in the tournament so far with a
well deserved victory against Brazil in the final match of Group C at the
Rashid Stadium in Dubai on Thursday. Two first-half goals from Anthony Danze
and a third just after the break from Spase Dilevski put the young Socceroos
three to the good before the South Americans pulled back two late goals. The
result means Australia qualify in top spot, and in the last 16 will face the
third-place team of groups A, B or F in Sharjah.
Wearing a changed all navy blue strip, Australia began the game well, looking
calm and composed on the ball. Knowing the young Socceroos needed just a draw
to be certain of qualification to the next phase, coach Ange Postecoglou
tinkered with the line-up, surprising many by leaving captain and striker
Scott McDonald on the bench and packing midfield.
“We thought we needed to work more in midfield with Alex up front who,
because of his pace, could cause Brazil some problems,” explained
Postecoglou later. “We have a strong squad and I wanted to bring in some
fresh legs today.”
And it was one of the replacements, Dustin Wells, who had the first shot,
firing over the top from distance (5). Brazil gradually began to assert
themselves, patiently rolling the ball from side to side, waiting for the
moment to apply the final, devastating pass.
The young Socceroos’ goal had two scares within three minutes. Daniel
Carvalho, more prominent than against the Czechs, missed narrowly with a
free kick after it clipped the top of the wall (24). Then Kleber, who had
been strangely quiet up to now, found some space on the edge of the area
and struck a low, skidding shot that was smartly save low down by Nathan
Coe (26).
The game suddenly came to life as Australia snatched the lead. Wells’ shot
hit a defender and Anthony Danze, reacting first, beat his man and struck it
low and hard into the bottom corner giving keeper Fernando Henrique no chance
(0-1, 31).
Surprise turned into disbelief for Brazil six minutes later. Alex Brosque,
playing as the lone striker, held the ball up intelligently before teeing
up Wells. This time the Perth Glory man saw his drive crash off the post,
hit the keeper’s body and rebound towards the net where Danze, running in,
slammed the ball high into the net to the jubilation of the small Australian
contingent in the stadium (0-2, 36)
Daniel Carvalho curled a free kick just wide before Brazil’s players
dejectedly lagged into the dressing room.
Joy became unbridled ecstasy for Australia two minutes after the restart.
Spase Dilevski won the ball knocked it to Brosque. Again the striker, with
three men around him, held it up wonderfully well, feigned to go one way
before supplying the killer pass to Dilevski. Continuing his run, the mid-
fielder who plays for Rot-Weis Essen in Germany slipped the ball under the
diving body of Henrique before being engulfed by the whole of the Australian
bench (0-3, 47).
Brazil stormed forward. Daniel Carvalho had another free kick tipped over
by Coe and from the resulting corner, just as he had done against Czech
Republic, Adailton climbed highest but this time his header was kept out by
the Internazionale keeper (49).
Daniel Carvalho belted over from distance (57) before Adailton amazingly
missed from three yards. With Australia being pegged back increasingly more,
Dudu’s header lobbed over Coe and onto the crossbar and back for Adailton,
who astonishingly missed the gaping goal with his header (63).
Daniel Carvalho fired wide again (67) and substitute Juninho lashed over
from free kick (71) before the same player scored a spectacular goal to
pull one back. The midfielder chested down a clearance and smashed the ball
into the top-hand corner from 25 yards (1-3, 75).
Brosque almost made it four with a curling effort before Brazil pulled
another goal back to set up a grandstand finish. Again a Brazilian was given
time to chest the ball down and, this time, Dudu volleyed home from just
inside the area (2-3, 87).
The young selecao threw everything forward but the equaliser just would not
come as Australia jigged a dance of delight for a well deserved victory.
“We did not underestimate Australia,” said Brazil coach Paqueta.
“I don’t think we played badly. We just couldn’t react when they scored
and when we did, it was too late. We will have Dagoberto (injured striker)
fit for the next game.”
“For a country like Australia to beat Brazil is something else,” added
Postecoglou. “I think it’s the first time we’ve done it at this level.
We lost our shape in the last 20 minutes or so but this team still has a lot
more to offer in the tournament
