Australia are through to the final round of World Cup qualification after a masterful display from winger Craig Goodwin led them to a 5-0 win against Lebanon. At Canberra’s GIO Stadium, Goodwin scored two goals and created another two with gorgeous deliveries into the box to get the Socceroos the comfortable result. A dream night for Graham Arnold’s side saw both Kusini Yengi and John Iredale net their first international goals as Australia continues to search for a long-term answer up front.
Another teasing ball from the outside of his boot invited Harry Souttar to add to his impressive international tally, but the towering centre-half directed his close-range header onto the post. But those wasted chances mattered little, Goodwin producing a teasing set-piece delivery that forced Lebanese defender Bassel Jradi to turn the ball into his own net just two minutes into the second half.

Adam Taggart Earns Socceroos Call-Up for World Cup QualifiersAdam Taggart’s good A-League Men form has earned the Perth Glory striker a Socceroos call-up for Australia’s World Cup qualifiers against Lebanon. Socceroos coach Graham Arnold says European sides are pressuring young players to prioritise their club over representing their country, as he announced his squad for the crunch World Cup qualifiers against Lebanon. Parma defender Alessandro Circati was a notable absentee from the squad for Australia’s two games against Lebanon in Parramatta on 21 March and Canberra on 26 March, where two wins would secure their passage to the final round of qualification, and the 20-year-old is looking increasingly likely to also miss important Olympic qualifiers.
