Douglas Costa  7 – A couple of sprightly runs down the left but most of Brazil’s attacks came from the opposite side. Tucked in at times, allowing offensive full-back Alex Sandro to run past him. Withdrawn after 58 minutes.

Giuliano  8 – A constant threat down Brazil’s right, regularly cutting in from the flank and running at Australia’s three-man defence. Early pressure led to Brazil’s opener, when he set up Souza after just 12 seconds. 

Diego Souza  8 – Two goals marked a successful night for the 31-year-old. He linked up well with Brazil’s other attacking players and his performance will give manager Tite plenty to think about.

Subs 

Taison  7 – Replaced Costa in the 58th minute. Finished off a superb move for Brazil’s third goal. 

Willian  6 – The Chelsea star was given 20 minutes to show off his skills to the MCG crowd. Added some fresh legs after replacing Coutinho.

Fernandinho  6 – Came on with 18 minutes to go and shored up Brazil’s midfield.

Jemerson – Came on with 11 minutes remaining, not enough time to give a fair rating.

Rodriguinho – Came on with 11 minutes remaining, not enough time to give a fair rating.

Renato Augusto – Came on with seven minutes remaining, not enough time to give a fair rating.
