Wonderful chance there to Kye Rowles – and only denied by an equally wonderful save from Max Crocombe, the All Whites goalkeeper.
Rowles did really well to time his jump between two defenders and get his header on target, but Crocombe throws a mit at it and makes the stop.
A terrific cross, too, from Lewis Miller on the right made that possible.
Slightly more encouraging signs from the Socceroos.
AND NOW WE HAVE A GOAL! MOHAMED TOURE! ONE-ON-ONE!
Cool as you like. His first international goal in his fourth cap. Connor Metcalfe provides the assist, pumping forward an excellently-weighted pass into space for Toure, who used his strength and speed to do the rest, holding off his defenders and finishing superbly.
After 35 minutes, it’s 1-0 to Australia!
