After about twenty minutes of play, Brazilian defender Roberto Carlos took a shot from outside the box, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Soon, Ronaldinho broke into the Australian penalty area, but lost control of the ball and it was intercepted by the Australian defenders.
About thirty minutes into the game, Australian attacker Brett Emerton took a shot from about 18 meters, but it went straight to Brazilian goalkeeper Dida. A minute later, Ronaldinho sent a ball into the penalty area, where Ronaldo attempted a shot, but it was blocked by defender Craig Moore.
Ronaldo managed to score shortly after, but he was offside and the goal was disallowed. He was shown a yellow card by referee Markus Merk. A few minutes later, after playing for just over half an hour, the Australians launched a counterattack, but Vince Grella's long-range shot was off target.
In the 37th minute, the Brazilians had a nice attack - Ronaldinho passed the ball to Kaka, who quickly set up Ronaldo for a shot, but he missed the target.
The game continued with both teams creating chances, with Brazil eventually scoring two goals in the second half to secure their victory.
