First World Cup Victory for Australia Since 2010

 

Australia achieved its first World Cup victory since June 2010. The team won against Tunisia for a chance to qualify for the next round of the tournament. 

In the first half, Mitch Duke's magnificent header proved the difference between the two teams, as Tunisia wasted chance after chance and couldn't get through the tenacious Australian defense.

It was a must-win game for both sides, hoping to advance to the knockout rounds from a group that included giants France and Denmark.

World Cup Victory for Australia

The Eagles of Carthage began with the wind at their backs, having earned a 0-0 draw against Denmark in their first encounter, while Australia had lost 4-1 to reigning champion France and needed a win to stay in contention for qualification.

Pay per head sportsbook experts said Australia started the better of the two sides, putting Tunisia in its half early on, and the Socceroos gained an early lead with an end-to-end goal.

They pushed the ball upfield, with Craig Goodwin finding space down the left flank and hitting a cross into the box that, despite a deflection, reached Duke, who sprang into the air to head the ball into the goal glancingly.

Tunisia Had Scoring Opportunities

According to bookie pay per head reports, Tunisia had opportunities to equalize before halftime, with Mohamed Drager lining up a shot on goal. Still, Harry Souttar whisked the ball away and out of danger, and Youssef Msakni shot wide with the goal open in front of him.

The Eagles of Carthage continued to push after the interval, but despite repeated attempts on goal, they were unable to break through Australia's defense.

With five minutes remaining in regulation time, the game loosened up as Tunisia stormed forward on the counterattack.

Souttar came to Australia's rescue again, defending his team's slim advantage, and Australia hung on for a historic triumph.
