[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = Australia was behind in terms of possession, expected goals, and number of shots. But Australia said it was a goal. Denmark was silent. I had a chance, but I couldn’t save it.
The Australian national team became the first Asian team to qualify for the round of 16. The victory against Tunisia laid the foundation for the anti-war drama, and he played efficient soccer against Denmark, achieving the feat of advancing to the round of 16 for the first time in 16 years since the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Australia won 1-0 against Denmark in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar Group D Group Stage 3 match held at 0:00 am on the 1st at the Al-Janube Stadium in Qatar. The winner of the goal was Leckie. Reki, who caught the ball from the side, finished off the finish following a bold rush, ending the victory.
Australia, who won three points, pushed Tunisia, who overcame France, and qualified for the round of 16 as second place in the group. It is the second consecutive win following the match against Tunisia. It was Australia’s first consecutive World Cup win. It is also the first time that two consecutive clean sheets have been recorded.
In addition, Australia became the third team in World Cup history to advance to the round of 16 despite conceding four or more goals in the first match, following former Yugoslavia in 1990 and Ukraine in 2006.
On the other hand, Tunisia missed out on a ticket to the round of 16, despite a 1-0 victory over France, as Denmark was caught by Australia. Denmark, who was caught by Australia, suffered the disgrace of failing to advance to the tournament for the second time after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Australia’s advance to the round of 16 is a hopeful message for the national team as well. At the time of the 1st round, the Asian trend was predicted, but in the 2nd round, the atmosphere was subdued as the Asian teams showed a lower-than-expected appearance. At the time of the first game, Australia was in a bad mood due to a crushing defeat against France, but it won a ticket to the round of 16 by creating miracles against Tunisia and Denmark.
The national team is also in a bit of a mess after losing 2-3 against Ghana. The third round is Portugal. Uneasy. Portugal is also unlikely to back down easily from a head-to-head match with the national team in order to avoid Brazil.
So did Australia. Although they beat Tunisia, they were inferior to Denmark in terms of power. Instead, they won a dramatic ticket to the round of 16 through efficient game management. Australia’s progress to the round of 16 is sending a hopeful message to the national team ahead of the Portuguese match at midnight on the 3rd.
