The first advantage of this game is Syria as a guest. In the 6th minute, they took the lead in the away game. But we can never underestimate the veteran's desire for the World Cup. Just seven minutes later, Cahill used the most familiar header to help Australia equalize the score. Cahill, who followed closely in the middle, hit a ball, and the excellent Syrian goalkeeper Alema could only look at the ball and sigh.
Both sides failed to rewrite the score in the second half. 1- 1 After entering overtime, the pressure on Australians increased sharply. Once Syria scores, it must score at least two goals. Obviously, the Syrian team with low self-expectation may be more relaxed in the penalty shootout.
In the first109th minute, Mei sent a straight plug, Cruise passed the ball directly to the middle, Cahill jumped high again, overtook the defender to complete the attack, and Alema touched the ball, still unable to stop the Australian from exceeding the score.
Cahill scored 50 goals in Australia after this campaign. He has been playing for nearly 14 years since he made his debut for the national team at the age of 24, and the efficiency of scoring 50 goals in10/game is even more admirable!
