Australia vs Türkiye Highlights 🌎🏆 2026 FIFA World Cup

One of the most beautiful cities you could wish to go to. Well, two seismic shots in the Australia line-up. Veteran goalkeeper and captain Matt Ryan has been dropped by Tony Popovich. The 22-year-old Melbourne city keeper, Patrick Beach, starts winning only his third cap, but he has opted for experience in the back line with Cameron Burgess, preferred to teenage 21-year-old Paul Okon Engsler, preferred alongside Aidan O'Neill. Will Turkey start with Galatasaray's Orcan Çakır in goal? It's an experienced back line with Bardakşin Demiral anchoring the defense. Captain Çalhanoğlu will be bringing his big game mentality into the midfield. Now the richly talented 21-year-old Real Madrid forward, Arda Güler, leads with Harry Suter. He'll be hoping to clear this. Çalhanoğlu thinks he's earned another corner. Dead ball as well. Oh, this is nice. This is really good from Turkey. Arda Güler at the heart of everything. He was not happy. He's had to go out there. Being told he's not starting in every World Cup that he's been invited. Yilmaz, really dangerous player. Italiano alive to that danger. Yilmaz again. Oh, this is dangerous. And that is the first effort on target. It's come from the young superstar. He loved that on his left foot because he had to let it run. And there's that running behind. Oh, and the Aussies are in here. This is dangerous. Here's the opening goal. Aran Kunda, the Aussies, wild in celebration. Pace, the desire, the determination has undone this Turkey back line. And the Aussies are a gong to. Well, you can have as many touches as you like. Sometimes one pass is enough. And the movement and the composure that he shows. That little talk at the hydration break. And what a finish. You're thinking he's going to slide it into the far post. Let the ball do the work. His pace is there. Now he just composes himself and sweeps that into the back of the net. It's a wonderful finish. You look like he's going to the left. No, I'm not. I'm going to put it into the back of the net. Cue the celebration. He is absolutely delighted. The little spin to come. That is what the big man's there for. Oh, what a strike. And off the post from Bardacci, the center half. Something like what's just happened, obviously. And what a strike with his left foot. Beech is trying to get across, trying to get a fingertip save. He just pushes away. That's sometimes the difference. He can't believe it that we talk about. It is intense here under the roof in Vancouver. Vos, they'd probably like to get him in the game a little bit more. Jordan Vos with that passion and that energy out of the crowd. Coochie's clever little ball for Guler. And still, Vincenzo Montella has to wait for that equalizer. Yeah, he'd be happy that he's superstar. Irankunda once again, asking questions of Demerar. Irankunda, and his best mate Mo Toure kind of wanted it in the center as well. But perhaps you can't blame him for having a go there. Well, he's saying how good the first 45 minutes was for him. Run with it, run with it and take him on. Here is Toure, has Vos to his left. Irankunda's in the center. And it's Jordan Vos going alone. They are petrified of it. They can't get deeper. Look now, both of them, not one of them engaging themselves because he knows it takes a little touch. I thought, Vos, it's on your left foot. Let it run across you and get it. Thinking about what they have to do. And they're making the wrong decisions at the moment. Oh, and it's a free header for Souter. May have been offside, but just the willingness to take people on the header. The rebound, it's a decent save in the end because that little bounce in front, you thought there might be a touch for you. Guler with the left foot, perhaps, or Chalonolu with the right. It is Guler. Oh, it's a save by Beach. Still the danger not cleared. Well, Patrick Beach selected today in place of the captain, the veteran, Matt Ryan's place there with a big, big save from Adeguler. They've got a good view of Australia. They're about to make a change. Villupalay about to come on. Yildiz. Oh, Yildiz doing so well for a moment. I thought he might go down under the challenge just for a moment. Would have been interesting to see what might have transpired having done just that. He is running socks off and what a finish. A nice little pat on the back. The smile says it all from the coaching staff. UFC and MLS. O'Neill's delivery. Oh, and just for a moment. Oh, Chalik's in. Chalik's in here. You've gone. You've just come on to the game as a sub. There's a lot of tired players out there and a couple of players are out of play. But this is where you can't switch on. You know, as a sub coming on, you've got to be aware. You've got to open your body up, know where the ball is, know where the man is and then track your runners. But Beach does well. He just doesn't gamble, just stands big on his near post. So Touré coming off. He has floored it. Now, now it's opened up a little bit for Aussie. Australia to go for number two. And Australia are in green at the moment. What a moment for Conor Metcalf. It has been an outstanding performance from Australia. Capped off by goal number two from Conor Metcalf. Inside BC Stadium. Well, again, they back off because they're petrified of the place in behind and he takes the opportunity, the composure by Metcalf, as you rightly said, with his left foot. That little skip in front of the keeper and bounces into the back. And what a response again. Little tweak here and there, substitutions, allows him to come inside. Let's go and celebrate. He's earned his money. He's made a big call at the beginning. He's made some subs. Oh, the Aussies here cannot believe what is happening to them, their supporters. But wait! Oh, straight at beach. From Actifolu. A glorious, glorious opportunity. The best they've had all night. Just look then, when they went forward. Shoots a big centre half. The captain got Boss to stay back. So, you sick? And there's a strike as well. Just a little skip goes through the legs and cue celebration. Metcalf there. Metcalf will do it. Kula giving time and space again to try and pick out the top corner. He's had a few from there, hasn't he?
