Australia beat Türkiye in Vancouver with Two Excellent Goals

Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe scored memorable goals to fire Australia to a sensational 2-0 win over Türkiye in Vancouver.

The match also belonged to Patrick Beach, the young goalkeeper handed a shock Socceroos debut who went on to thwart Arda Guler and Co.

Eyebrows had been raised when the 22-year-old was preferred to Mat Ryan but he played a key role in Australia’s opener, saving smartly from Guler before launching a lightning counter-attack.

The Socceroos now march on to a top-of-the-table showdown with Group D leaders USA in Seattle, while Türkiye face a must-not-lose encounter with Paraguay.
