Slim victory places Socceroos thru to the final 16 for first time since 2006, whilst Denmark crashes out.
A breakaway objective by way of Mathew Leckie gave Australia a 1-0 victory over Denmark of their Crew D International Cup fit, sending the delirious Socceroos thru to the final 16 and the disappointing Danes crashing out.
Denmark had to win the fit on the Al Janoub Stadium on Wednesday to development however their early force used to be pissed off by way of a resolute Australian defence. Australia grew into the sport as the primary part went on and fastened a number of counter-attacks but it surely remained goalless at part time.
A second of magic from Leckie broke the impasse at the hour mark. As Denmark driven males ahead, Australia broke and a thru ball discovered Leckie in acres of house at the left. He twisted the Danish full-back Joakim Maehle a technique, then the opposite, sooner than passing the ball previous Kasper Schmeichel and into the a long way nook.
Denmark poured ahead searching for targets however, despite the fact that that they had a most probably penalty overruled for offside, they hardly ever gave the impression of scoring.
With Tunisia taking the lead in opposition to France within the different Crew D, it gave the impression of Australia would wish see out the win to development. They nervously weathered waves of Danish assaults to assert the 1-0 victory.
Australia, thru to the final 16 of a International Cup for the primary time since 2006, celebrated wildly.
Extra to practice.
