Australia beat Peru to become the 31st team to secure a place in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. The Kangaroos will play in the main draw of the World Cup for the fifth time in a row and for the sixth time in a row due to the match played in the intercontinental playoff tiebreaker. Their opponents in Group D at the World Cup in Qatar are France, Denmark, and Tunisia.
Neither team scored a goal after 90 minutes and 30 minutes at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar. In the end, the fate of going to the World Cup was decided by a tiebreaker. Australia beat Peru 5-4 in a tiebreaker to win a ticket to the World Cup.
The hero of Australia's victory in the tiebreaker is their 33-year-old penalty specialist goalkeeper Redmain. Australia did not have a good start to the tiebreaker. Martin Boyle failed to score from their first shot. But then the Australians caught five shots in a row.
Defender Luis Advincula was caught in front of the Redmen in the third shot, despite a goal from Peru's first two shots. Redmen then saved another shot from Peru to take Australia to the World Cup. Just three minutes before the end of the game, the coach replaced him with regular goalkeeper Matthew Ryan. Didn't Redmain repay the coach's trust very well?
Note that Ajira has played in the last four World Cups. With this, they are on the stage of the sixth World Cup. Australia was placed in Group D after the World Cup in Qatar was confirmed. They are joined by world champions France, Denmark, and Tunisia.
