AL WAKRAH, Qatar—Australia only needed to avoid defeat to stay in the World Cup. The Socceroos did more than that in a 1–0 win over Tunisia on Saturday.
Mitchell Duke gave Australia the lead midway through the first half with a header and Australia went on to register its first win at soccer’s biggest event since a victory over Serbia back in 2010.
