Australia is through to the last 16 of the World Cup, despite an insane twist in the France-Tunisia game that changed everything. 9WWOS Qatar2022
With the Danes pushing high up the field, Riley McGree's through ball put the Melbourne City star into acres of space, albeit with defender Joakim Maehle s still to deal with.Leckie twisted and turned until he could shake his man long enough to roll a left-footed finish into the corner of Kasper Schmeichel's net, as the Green and Gold Army erupted.
"He had two defenders, no right to put it in the back of the net - but we did our work before the game of how you can score goals, and we knew that they were going to push at some point to try and get a goal, and when you've got the pace and experience and nous that Lecks has got...fantastic goal, and you could see the way we've celebrated."
Such was the crowd noise you could hear the players at times - but certainly not when Leckie's finish found the net, and you would have thought that every single person of the 41,232 in attendance were from Australia. The news of six minutes of stoppage time was met with a loud groan from the Australian fans, but even then, there wasn't much to worry about as Graham Arnold's team calmly saw the game out.
