The Socceroos claimed only their fifth-ever World Cup win thanks to goals by Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe, scored in each half. Turkey dominated possession with 72% and unleashed 30 shots, but they were repeatedly thwarted by a resolute Australian defense anchored by Burgess, who currently plays for Swansea City.
