Munich, Germany (My Sportsbook) - After a stunning match that saw three goals in the final 10 minutes, Australia will try for a second win against overall tournament favorite Brazil on Sunday. The Australians looked to be on the verge of defeat after conceding a single goal to Japan's Shunsuke Nakamura in the 26th minute. With the second half quickly winding down, Australia's substitutes took over the match, with Tim Cahill scoring the equalizer and game-winning goal in the 84th and 89th minutes. John Aloisi added a third in extra time to seal the victory, giving the Aussie's the historic World Cup victory. The team will attempt to finish with a similar result against a strong Brazil squad on Sunday. Brazil escaped a close 1-0 victory over Croatia to open its tournament schedule with a first-match win. Kaka scored the only goal of the match in the 44th minute, and Brazil held on for the victory. Following the win, Brazilian star Ronaldo was taken to a Frankfurt hospital after complaining of dizziness and headaches. The striker is expected to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's match. Ronaldo, who has been battling media criticism over his weight and quality of play in Brazil's opener, needs just one more goal to move ahead of Pele for the top position on Brazil's all-time World Cup goal-scorers list. A win from either side would be one step closer to advancing to the round of 16.
