What a night for Australian football! The Socceroos have taken another massive step towards World Cup qualification with a stunning 5-1 win over Indonesia in Sydney. The atmosphere was electric as the home team delivered a clinical performance, giving fans plenty to cheer about.
Right from the start, Indonesia showed promise, pressing hard and even earning an early penalty. However, fate had other plans, as Kevin Diks' shot struck the woodwork, keeping Australia in the game.

Lewis Miller won a penalty at the other end, and after a VAR review, Martin Boyle stepped up with confidence, slotting it home to give Australia the lead.

The second half saw Australia continue their dominance. Craig Goodwin delivered a perfect corner, setting up Lewis Miller for a powerful header to make it 4-0. Indonesia fought back and managed to get on the scoresheet through Ole Romeny, but the Socceroos responded in style. Irvine bagged his second goal of the night with another precise header, sealing an emphatic 5-1 victory.
While coach Tony Popovic acknowledged areas for improvement, he praised the team’s progress, particularly their squad depth. The win gives Australia some breathing room in their qualification campaign, keeping them firmly in contention for a spot in next year’s World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
