The Aussie Socceroos have defeated Peru 5-4 on penalties in a nail-biting qualifier, sending them through to the 2022 Qatar World Cup

The Socceroos are heading to the World Cup in Qatar.

It was NIL all for the majority of the match both teams were caught in deadlock, forcing the game into nail-biting extra time, then into a penalty shootout.

Aussie Substitute goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne made the save that secured the Socceroo’s spot on the world stage.

Redmayne was the humble hero, making the winning save as Australia won the shootout 5-4 after the match finished 0-0 after extra-time.

“I’m no hero. I just played my role like everyone else did tonight,” he said after the match.

“I can’t thank the team enough, the staff enough. You know, I’m not going to take credit. The boys ran out 120 minutes, and it not only takes 11 on the field but the boys on the bench, the boys in the stands.”

A Nerve-wracking game for Aussie fans right around the world.

The World Cup kicks off at the end of the year.

This November, Australia will face two of the same opponents they played at the 2018 World Cup in Russia: reigning world champions France and Denmark, with the third nation in their group being Tunisia.
