WORLD CUP ROUNDUP \ Sunday's games

Brazil 2, Australia 0
MUNICH, Germany -- Still unable to put on the show everyone has expected, Brazil got another shaky win and a spot in the second round. Adriano got the first goal in the 49th minute and the defending champions hung on to defeat Australia. It was one goal more than the score Brazil beat Croatia by in its opener -- but the South Americans were even less impressive this time. Brazil advanced with its ninth consecutive World Cup victory. Adriano used a left-footed shot from the top of the penalty area after clearing a defender. His low shot whipped past Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. Ronaldo, who improved slightly from his dismal performance in the opener, set up the score. Reserve Fred, who came on a minute earlier, got the clinching goal in the 89th minute on a rebound into an empty net.
Japan 0, Croatia 0
NUREMBERG, Germany -- Croatia couldn't find the net and even missed a penalty kick in a tie with Japan that endangered both teams' stays at the World Cup. Each side had numerous chances to win the Group F match, but spectacular goaltending left the teams with just one point apiece with one match remaining. Japan captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto took down Dado Prso in the penalty area in the 21st minute, drawing a yellow card. But Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi denied Darijo Srna from the penalty spot, diving to his left to stop the low shot. Niko Kranjcar hit the crossbar for Croatia from the top of the area seven minutes later and in the 54th minute lunged for Ivan Klasnic's pass and missed just wide of the post.
France 1, South Korea 1
LEIPZIG, Germany -- Thierry Henry scored France's first World Cup goal since the 1998 final, only to see South Korea's Park Ji-sung tie it in the 81st minute. Henry connected in the ninth minute for his 34th international goal. Henry put a deflected ball past Lee Woon-jae for France's first World Cup goal on foreign soil since 1986. Park tied it on a strange goal. He got his toe on a ball that looped over goalkeeper Fabien Barthez's reach and defender William Gallas failed to clear it on the line. France nearly scored another goal in the 32nd when Patrick 1 header appeared on TV replays to have crossed the goal line, but the Mexican referee ruled no goal.
