The Aussie Socceroos have won against the UAE, keeping their chances of the 2022 Qatar World Cup firmly alive

The Australian Socceroos didn’t disappoint in their fight for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, defeating the United Arab Emirates 2-1.

Meaning their chance to qualify for the World Cup is in reach.

It was a massive mental test for the Socceroos to remain focused and clinch their victory.

The score was stuck at 1-1, until the 83rd minute.

A monumental strike from Ajdin Hrustic, just 10 minutes from full-time, set the Aussie team ahead.

“Proud of the boys”.
“We knew they’d sit back and we didn’t want to play a game where we opened the field up too much because they’ve got some quality players,” the coach said.
“We’ll improve even more for the next game.
“Overall I thought that defensively we were good and I saw a good reaction tonight. That’s what I’ve been driving to the boys ever since I came into camp about the Aussie DNA and that is kick, fight, scratch and do whatever you can to win the game.
“However we win it, who cares, just win it.”
Graham Arnold, socceroos coach

They’re one step closer to World Cup glory, but first, they will face Peru in the intercontinental playoff on Tuesday.

If they win against Peru, they will be headed to Qatar to play in the World Cup in November.

This would be the Aussie men’s fifth straight World Cup.

FULL TIME | All over here in Doha, we progress to the intercontinental play-off against Peru on Tuesday morning!
