Australia have come from behind to record a 2-1 friendly win over Jordan, as they prepare for next week's World Cup qualifiers. WWOS
Australia came close to starting the second half perfectly as Aaron Mooy's free kick smashed into the post, but only had to wait another 15 minutes before taking the lead.
Denis Genreau nearly made it three close to full time, but either way, it was a positive building block ahead of next week's must-win clash with UAE. "I think that's the first time we have come back since I have been in charge," he said on Ten afterwards. Australia will face the UAE in a one-off game in Qatar next Wednesday at 4am AEST, with the winner advancing to another sudden death fixture against Peru six days' later, with a spot in the World Cup on the line."We will go back and review the game, and obviously there is a lot to work on still," Arnold said.
