Australia 2-0 Türkiye

Apparently a full house in Vancouver

T By Tom Wildie

The announcer has just informed us there's not a spare seat in BC Place.

To be fair to him, it's hard to see an empty chair, and if noise is any measure, I'd say it's a shutout.

By Chris De Silva

PATRICK BEACH IS A HUMAN WALL!

A lovely header back across goal and Kerem Aktürkoğlu has a volley on goal from mid-air, but hits it straight at Beach.

It's all a bit surreal inside BC Place

T By Tom Wildie

All week we've been told that Australia is the underdog, the weakest side in the group, the easy beats.

Well, that all seems silly now.

The Aussie fans are in full voice, but the Turkish fans look stunned.

By Chris De Silva

CONNOR METCALFE, WHAT A HIT SON! WHAT A HIT!!!!!

Türkiye dominating this second half, but the Socceroos are able to break and Metcalfe gets on the ball and runs through to the edge of the box.

Metcalfe then unleashes a rasping low strike into the bottom corner.

Unbelievable stuff. Poppa's boys keep finding a way!

Meanwhile, the Socceroos have also made some changes with Tete Yengi coming on for Mo Toure, while Jason Geria replaces Jacob Italiano.

71': Toure still out there after break

By Chris De Silva

Good news for Australia as Mo Toure comes back out after the break, so it appears it was indeed cramp.

Mo Toure is struggling

T By Tom Wildie

While all the other players were having their government mandated drinks break, Toure lay prone on the BC Place turf.

He received treatment, and then got to his feet, but looked worse for wear.

But's he's smashed some pickle juice and is back out there.
