The CommBank Pararoos took on Brazil in their opening match of the IFCPF Men’s World Cup campaign, falling 1-0 to the World No.3.
The only goal of the match came in the first half, a dangerous cross from the boot of Brazil’s Vinicius Araujo deflecting off the heel of Augustine Murphy and past David Barber in goals.
Head Coach Kai Lammert named a mix of experience and youth in the first starting seven of the tournament. David Barber made his 121st appearance in green and gold between the sticks and in the process broke the record to hold the longest male international football career in the world at 26 years and 353 days.
