Australia have secured their first win at a FIFA World Cup since 2010 after defeating Tunisia 1-0 in their second group match at Qatar 2022.
AL WAKRAH, QATAR - NOVEMBER 26: Harry Souttar of Australia and Kye Rowles of Australia celebrates victory at the end of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group D match between Tunisia and Australia at Al Janoub Stadium on November 26, 2022 in Al Wakrah, Qatar.
“They would have been questioning themselves, are we good enough? But to go out and put on a performance like that, it was amazing,” he said. "Fantastic performance from the Australian team, it was everything we wanted,” he told co-commentator David Basheer. "When he brought on Hrustic, I think it was the 63rd minute, was perfect. Jamie Maclaren almost got one across for Leckie as well, so the substitutions were spot on."After having played only one match in preparation for Qatar 2022, Stoke City defender Souttar was noted as one of the key contributors to Australia's victory in only his third senior game for club or country after enduring a year-long stint on the sidelines with an ACL injury.
That was exactly the case for the SBS analysts, who were quick to praise almost every player at the end of the match.“All 16 of them and the five subs that came on - absolute heroes,” Bosnich interjected.
