Turkey, especially in the second half, tried to raise the pressure, creating a few chances through Güler, Çelik and Calhanoglu , but each time Beach’s gloves pushed the ball away. The Socceroos defended well and broke on the counter whenever they could, just like on the two occasions that led to the goals.  In the final minutes the Turks tried again, but Australia stood firm and gave away nothing, and it finished 2-0 at BC Place in Vancouver. ⚽️⚽️ Metcalfe’s rocket makes it 2-0 for Australia 75TH MINUTE - After defending their lead for the whole match, Australia found their second goal through Metcalfe. The Australian midfielder won the ball back in the attacking third and then unleashed a fierce left-footed strike from distance that flew into the bottom-left corner past Cakir.  ❌ Huge chance for Turkey! Bardakci’s shot hits the post 30TH MINUTE - A massive chance in the 30th minute for Montella’s team, who came close to equalising through Bardakci. The Gala defender hit a long-range half-volley that crashed against the post, to the despair of Montella’s men. Decisive was the touch from Australian goalkeeper Beach, who got just enough on it to stop the ball from going in.  👑 Record-breaking Irankunda! With tonight’s goal, the Australian forward became the youngest player ever to score for the Socceroos at the World Cup. ⚽️ Blistering burst from Irankunda, then the goal: Socceroos ahead! The match was unlocked in the 27th minute when Okon-Estlenger launched a deep and precise ball forward from his own half that caught the Turkish defence off guard, especially Yuksek. Irankunda, with a blistering burst of pace, collected the ball and, after brilliantly getting past Demiral, beat Beach to put Australia in front.  🇭🇹 HAITI-SCOTLAND 🏴 Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 and move into temporary first place in the group after the draw between Brazil and Morocco. Clarke’s side only needed McGinn’s goal (28') to secure a win they had not managed at the World Cup since 1990 , and one that now even has McTominay and company dreaming of a place in the next round, something Scotland have never achieved in their history.  For their part, Haiti, back at the World Cup after 52 years , were far from out of place. In fact, they would have deserved a draw based on what was seen on the pitch. A draw the Caribbean side almost snatched at the end with a header from Pierrot . 🔍 Doubts over the touch in the box: was it a penalty? A controversial moment came in the 78th minute when Scottish defender Grant Hanley blocked a shot from Bellegarde in the box and the ball struck his arm. The VAR room did not consider it a foul and play continued without a penalty being awarded. 🥇 HISTORIC result for both teams For Scotland, it was their first win since 1998, the year they last qualified for the World Cup. It had in fact been 28 years since the Scots had booked their place at the World Cup A kind of "joy" for Haiti too, who despite losing, produced the best performance in their World Cup history. The Caribbean side had never previously lost while conceding fewer than 3 goals. 🧮 GROUP C STANDINGS 1. Scotland - 3 points 2. Morocco - 1 point 3. Brazil - 1 point 4.
