<p>Brazil had looked firmly in control when a penalty from returning striker Marta and header from Cristiane gave them a 2-0 lead.</p>
<p>But Caitlin Foord&#8217;s strike just before the break offered Australia hope and Chloe Logarzo&#8217;s cross-shot and an own goal from Monica completed a stunning turnaround.</p>
<p>Australia started the game on the front foot and felt they should been awarded a penalty after 20 minutes when Tameka Yallop went down under a challenge from Thaisa.</p>
<p>The decision was reviewed by the video assistant referee and, following a delay, was not given.</p>

<p>Brazil were awarded a spot-kick six minutes later after Elise Kellond-Knight pulled down Leticia Santos and Marta sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to open the scoring &#8211; her 16th goal in a World Cup finals.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old has now scored in five consecutive tournaments, starting in 2003.</p>
<p>Sam Kerr poked a shot goalwards as Australia looked to hit back, but Cristiane doubled Brazil&#8217;s lead in the 39th minute.</p>
<p>The veteran forward, who scored a hat-trick against Jamaica in their opening game, nodded in a cross from Debinha after good work from Tamires.</p>
<p>Brazil had not conceded a group stage goal since 2003 but that run ended in first-half injury time when Foord slid in at the back post from a Kerr flick to bring Australia back into the game.</p>

<p>Marta failed to appear for the second half but Brazil were straight onto the attack with Debinha sending a vicious effort wide.</p>
<p>Australia levelled after 58 minutes when a cross into the area from Logarzo deceived goalkeeper Barbara with Kerr looking to pounce and found the bottom corner.</p>
<p>The comeback was complete in the 66th minute when a ball into the box looking for Kerr was headed into her own net by Monica.</p>
<p>The decision went to VAR, with Kerr in an offside position, but she was not deemed to be interfering with play and the goal stood.</p>
<p>Brazil failed to create any clear-cut chances as they went in search of an equaliser and Australia comfortably held on.</p>
