Notable Actions

- Eight minutes later, Irankunda dribbled past multiple opponents and set up Max Balard, whose attempt was deflected.
- Throughout the opening 45 minutes, the Socceroos struggled to maintain possession, with Buchanan causing problems on the right flank.
- Even with pressure from Canada, the disciplined Socceroos defense stood strong, limiting chances before the halftime.
Second Half Improvement
Two minutes into the second half, Irankunda embarked on a impressive dribble, beating Derek Cornelius and firing the ball toward the goal, where Mohamed Toure missed his shot.
Substitutions in the 57th minute injected instant energy, with Irankunda capitalizing on a deflected pass and finding Toure, who fired wide.
Soon after, Miller sent in a precise ball to Yazbek, who flicked toward Circati, but the skipper shot over the bar.
During the 70th minute, after a scramble in the defensive area, the Socceroos cleared the danger.
Decisive Goal
Soon after, Connor Metcalfe sent Toure on the right, and the forward pulled the ball back into a promising zone.
As a opposition defender dithered, Irankunda sneaked in from the blind side to tap in his third goal.
Final Action
Despite failing to add a second goal, the Socceroos were saved by Izzo's late heroics.
Emotions flared in stoppage time, resulting in Irankunda receiving a yellow card and being substituted amid a fracas.
During a spiteful final few minutes, the Socceroos backline and Izzo stood their ground to secure the win.
