NESTOR IRANKUNDA SCORES AUSTRALIA AHEAD IN CANADA! 🔥
🇨🇦 0 - 1 🇦🇺
Key Actions
- During the early stages, Tajon Buchanan burst into the box, but captain Alessandro Circati executed a perfectly timed tackle to clear the danger.
- Shortly later, Irankunda beat multiple opponents and set up Max Balard, whose attempt was deflected.
- Throughout the first half, the Australians struggled to maintain the ball, with Buchanan creating problems on the wing.
- Even with pressure from Canada, the organized Socceroos backline stood strong, limiting chances before the halftime.
Second Half Shift
Two minutes into the second period, Irankunda went on a wonderful run, evading Derek Cornelius and driving the ball toward the near post, where Mohamed Toure scuffed his shot.
Changes in the second half injected immediate impact, with Irankunda pouncing on a poor clearance and setting up Toure, who fired off target.
Soon after, Miller delivered a precise cross to Yazbek, who backheeled toward Circati, but the skipper blasted over the bar.
During the closing stages, following a scramble in the box, the Socceroos cleared the situation.
Decisive Goal
Soon after, Connor Metcalfe sent Toure on the right, and the striker pulled the ball back into a promising area.
When a Canadian defender dithered, Irankunda slid in from the unmarked position to score his third strike.
Late Drama
Despite failing to add a another, the Socceroos were saved by Izzo's late heroics.
Emotions boiled over in injury-time, leading to Irankunda receiving a booking and being substituted amid a scuffle.
In a spiteful conclusion, the Australian defense and Izzo stood their ground to secure the win.
Next Steps
With already qualified for the upcoming global tournament, the Australian squad are intensifying their readiness with friendlies against North American opponents and the United States, with a game scheduled in Colorado next.
