The Australian soccer team (Socceroos) has earned a place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar later this year after narrowly defeating Peru 5-4 in a penalty shootout at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.

The victory marks the end of a long and arduous road to qualify after the Socceroos finished third behind Japan and Saudi Arabia in their qualifying pool.
