Date: 18-06-2006 18:35
Brazil booked their place in the Round of 16 after overcoming a tough challenge from Australia with a 2-0 win in Munich on Sunday, 18 June 2006.
The match:
3': After receiving some less than complimentary headlines following his first appearance at Germany 2006, Ronaldo gave a glimpse of his magic early on, controlling the ball on his chest on the edge of the area and lobbing it over his head for Kaka to volley inches wide.
37': The world champions almost cut through after a fine combination between Ronaldinho and Kaka but Ronaldo, well positioned inside the box, drove his foot through clean air and the chance went begging.
70': With Brazil on the back foot for once, Kaka, their most in-form player, broke with a typically direct run ending with a low shot from 20 yards which Mark Schwarzer got down well to save.
82': Kaka almost made the game safe, meeting Ronaldinho's corner at the near post but his header crashed off the bar.
