In his debut match as head coach, Tony Popovic celebrated a convincing 3-1 victory over China, with Craig Goodwin's stellar performance driving the team's comeback.
Goodwin’s long-range strike in the 53rd minute propelled Australia ahead, following his earlier assist to Lewis Miller, highlighting his crucial role in the match.
This win against China marked Australia's first comeback in World Cup qualifying since 2017, breaking a streak of two scoreless matches and establishing new momentum.
In stark contrast, China continues to struggle, suffering their fourth consecutive loss and conceding 13 goals over that stretch, a troubling trend for the team.
