All Australia World Cup Goals In History

Throw coming for Australia though. Long one from Neil and Kawaguchi doesn't get to this and the ball's going in. Australia score for the first time ever in the World Cup Finals and the name is Tim Cahill. The stadium really erupts and comes to life. Everybody's standing, well everybody in a yellow shirt, that's for certain. And it is their talisman. They'll be flinging that kangaroo around in joy now. Well Kawaguchi who has been so defiant may have been culpable here because he came out and never really was in charge of the situation. Lucas near with a throw, now watch Kawaguchi comes and doesn't get there at all. And as the ball flies loose it is Cahill from the English Premiership Club Everton who manages to get boot to ball. Kewel couldn't, it went through about three pairs of legs. It doesn't matter, the ball is in the Japanese net. Australia have scored a goal in the World Cup Finals for the first time in the nation's history. Australia are really going for it now. Cahill, it's his day! Is it ever Tim Cahill's day? Cometh the hour, cometh the man for Australia. Magnificent comeback by the Australians. I said you never ever count them out. And it's taken a man called Cahill to come up with the goods for them. His participation was always in-depth for this game. He's played a big part now. And his scoring rate just gets better and better. Ten goals in 15 games for his country. And this is the pick of the bunch. Alois' lay-off and Cahill rolled his foot across the ball and lashed it off the inside of Kawaguchi's upright into the Japanese net. And the Japanese wonder what has hit them. It's a man called Cahill. What drama in Kaiserslautern. And this is what the World Cup is all about. And that's why Guus Hiddink loves it. You'd think he was Australian. Kennedy now will go one-on-one here. They're so tired, those players, they can hardly run. Alois has got Viduka ahead of him, probably in an offside position. Alois! 3-1! They win it! And John Aloisi, whose penalty destroyed Uruguay in the shootout, has just struck a blow to the heart of Japan. And Australia have a win in the World Cup finals. Their first ever. I think even the referee was smiling. John Aloisi, he scored six against Tonga, five against the Solomon Islands, but one here against Japan to seal this victory in added time has put the seal on a remarkable success. It took Australia 84 minutes to get a goal. They've struck three in six. And boy, what a moment. Good on you, mate. I bet that's what they're saying down there. Can Everton be clever here with a cross? It's not a bad-looking one. And there's a shout for a penalty, and it's going to be given by referee Paul. It's a handball. Australia with a chance to draw level, and Greg Moore, a defender, strikes the goal that brings the Green in goal. Back in Melbourne, in Sydney, in Perth and Canberra. It's 1-1 here. And if he ever scored two international goals here, the two gets his third in a World Cup finals match. Ten years on from making his Australian debut, Greg Moore strikes the goal of his life. Smack down the centre. It's Croatia 1, Australia 1. The Australians don't mind how many they commit forward so long as they get a goal. Bresciano. There'll be such a celebration if they do. And here's a moment for them. Chance surely. Goal in the green. Stuttgart are light. It's 2-2. They simply have to get a break sometime. He was there to take it. Bresciano's ball on. There's the flick, I think, from Cahill. And Kewell, on the edge of the six-yard area, rams it hard and low. Wide and plenty, Kossa. 2-2 is the scoreline. And if you're still hearing me down in those bars in Melbourne, I bet you're celebrating. Bresciano, 23 for Australia. One of those involved here. Sometimes it's Bresciano scored for his country. He'll have a goal, and it dips and bounces. And the follow-through brings Australia lead. It was Brett Holman who could have missed the target. And yet again we see a goalkeeper fumbling the Giabellani ball. Maybe it swerved, maybe it dipped. He could only parry it. And Brett Holman has his third international goal. What a crucial one it might be. Here's Walsh here. Cahill and Chipperfield! Australia breakthrough! Typically, running to the corner flag like a boxer. And is that the knockout blow? Maybe miracles can happen. Australia with a fighting chance here. There were two to attack it. Chipperfield and Cahill showing his aerial prowess once again. What a fantastic header. Here's Holman now. So goals are crucial. Holman allowed to run, it's a brilliant goal! Brett Holman turning the tables here in Nelsbrink. What a magnificent strike. Impotti! Could that be the nail in Serbia's coffin? They allowed him to run and run, and he picked his spot. What a great finish. Well played by Franjić. Leckie. Ivan Franjić. There's Tim Cahill! Trademark leap. And the Socceroos record World Cup scorer has scored again in the world's biggest competition. And they have some degree now of hope again. The captain, the talisman, Tim Cahill has reduced the arrears to just the one goal now. Ivan Franjić here, delicious cross. The kind Cahill just thrives on. Lovely header, lovely goal. And the Socceroos are back in this. The Netherlands in front. But Australia looking for a quick comeback. They've got it! Astonishing! It's almost as if Tim Cahill is saying to Arjen Robben, anything you can do, I can match it. What a couple of minutes in Porto Alegre. Tim Cahill, Australia's all-time record goalscorer with a sumptuous volley. Past Cillessen. And in off the underside of the bar. The perfect response from Australia to going a goal behind. He cleared too far away. Bozanic thought about a shot there. He'll try again. Appeals for handball. He's given it, the referee, it's handball. It's a penalty kick to Australia. Clearly strikes the hand of the Dutch defender. Jedinac, the Australian captain, to put his country in front. 2-1 Australia! There are around 14,000 Australian supporters inside this stadium here in Porto Alegre. And they are making one heck of a racket. And why not? Their team are in front against the 2010 World Cup runners-up. Mille Jedinac with the spot kick. And the Netherlands have it all to do. The Australians are shouting for a handball here. I wonder if we'll have a second VAR. We're going to have another penalty. It took quite a while for the decision. Umtiti going up. Oh dear, it was a definite handball. It's Jedinac versus Loris. Jedinac, 19th international goal. Francois, Australia 1. Game on again in Kazan. Four corners for Australia and no goals. That's what they need. Leckie with another header blocked on the way through. Now they're claiming there might have been a hand involved. Some of the Australians are like, hang on, we're hearing now there is a check. There is a check and there's a possible handball involved here. Well, it's very, very close, isn't it? What's he going to give? Penalty is what he's going to give. I think the referee has taken the view his hand is in an unnatural position and it's blocked the shot on the way through. You can't really argue with that. Big moment this for Australia. Can they draw level? Jedinac absolutely certain before he took it. And sure enough, he dispatches yet another penalty. 15 out of 15 now for club and country for Jedinac. I think that's another the officials have got right. That was a penalty and Jedinac scores it. 1-1. Australia into the lead and France had no answer to it. Brilliant assist and Goodwin in position A1. What a start for Australia. Here's Ryan again. Goodwin, Bejic. We always look to support Goodwin. Fetching on that, Jukes in for the Socceroos. Bejic, it's all very intricate. Dolbert losing his footing. Here's a break led by Leckie. He's all on his own, no help whatsoever. Matthew Leckie! Aussie joy! Well, that's how to change the picture. He looked up, didn't see another gold shirt but thought, well, I'm going to have to do it all myself. And he did exactly that. Great goal, wasn't it? Bejic. And Goodwin! They just needed a lucky twist. And their hope is reinvested. Yeah, a huge slice of luck. But you're right, they needed that if they were going to find a way through. And Australia swarming forward. That's a lovely touch and that's a lovely finish. And it's Australia who strike first! And do the substitutes have an immediate impact? Because Australia are coming forward! Soutar and others are the target. And there is the goal, Harry Soutar. I'm not quite sure. I think it might be Hannes jumping in there, the number three. It's his own goal. It is indeed.
