And with that, I think I’m done. My name’s been Joey Lynch and it’s been a great pleasure to have your company throughout tonight’s minute-by-minute coverage of Australia’s 2-1 loss to Brazil.

If you’re a Matildas fans, you’ll inevitably be down about these back-to-back losses and hoping for a bounce-back against Taiwan in the week ahead but geez, if you’re a football fan, you’ve got to be excited about some of the talent coming through this Brazilian team. Three years out from a home World Cup and they’re already looking as if they’re getting ready to make some noise.

And remember, if you’ve enjoyed watching the Matildas in action tonight – or at any point in recent years – you can catch some of Australian football’s best talent and up-and-coming prospects by getting along to or watching the A-League Women and even, when it starts in the new year, your local NPLW competition.
