Matildas Prepare for Friendly Against Brazil

The Matildas are preparing to face Brazil for the second time in four days following a physical 3-1 loss in their recent friendly match. Captain Steph Catley and interim coach Tom Sermanni emphasized the need for better control and discipline to avoid being overwhelmed by Brazil's aggressive play. With Vitoria Calhau's late red card highlighting the match's intensity, the Matildas are determined to learn from their mistakes. Clare Polkinghorne, set to retire after this series, reflects on the long-standing rivalry with Brazil, which has seen both memorable victories and defeats for Australia. The upcoming matches present a significant opportunity to test their skills against the Olympic silver medallists. The Matildas aim to capitalize on their home advantage and maintain focus as they prepare for future challenges.
