Arsenal midfielder Bruno Guimaraes scored the goal that restored Brazil’s lead as they beat Australia 4-2 in Brisbane on Tuesday.
Guimaraes struck in the 69th minute, turning a 2-2 contest in Brazil’s favour before Vinicius Junior added a late penalty.
Reuters’ match report confirms the Arsenal midfielder finished from Endrick’s delivery to put Carlo Ancelotti’s side ahead.
Bruno Guimaraes Brazil goal rewards penalty-area run
Guimaraes arrived inside the box to meet the substitute’s pass, providing the breakthrough after Australia had threatened another frustrating afternoon for Brazil.
Vanderson opened the scoring before Alessandro Circati and Connor Metcalfe turned the game around. Raphinha equalised before the interval, setting up the second-half opportunity for Guimaraes.
Fellow Arsenal player Gabriel Magalhaes also started, as detailed in Daily Cannon’s account of the Arsenal duo’s involvement.
Arsenal duo still have another international to play
The result followed Friday’s 1-1 draw between the countries. Brazil next face India on Saturday 3 October.
That means Guimaraes and Gabriel still have another fixture before returning to Arsenal.
For Mikel Arteta, the goal offers an encouraging attacking contribution from midfield. Attention will then turn to the pair’s remaining workload before the Arsenal fixture schedule resumes against Leeds on 10 October.
