"Teenage sensation Nestory Irankunda has scored his second goal in two matches, while goalkeeper Paul Izzo starred to deliver the Socceroos a fiery 1-0 win over Canada. After surviving a dour first half dominated by Canada, the Socceroos came to life with the introduction of second-half substitutes Jordy Bos, Lewis Miller and Patrick Yazbek, while Watford star Irankunda netted in the 71st minute."
"Randers goalkeeper Izzo, who started ahead of captain Maty Ryan, made multiple saves, including a world-class effort to deny Jacob Shaffelburg in the 90th minute, to secure Australia's seventh-straight win. After Irankunda and Mohamed Toure starred against New Zealand, they vindicated Popovic's decision to start them at Montreal's Stade Saputo. The Socceroos are now unbeaten in their 11 matches under Popovic."
Nestory Irankunda scored in the 71st minute to give Australia a 1-0 victory over Canada. Goalkeeper Paul Izzo produced multiple key saves, including a world-class denial of Jacob Shaffelburg in the 90th minute, to preserve the clean sheet. Second-half substitutes Jordy Bos, Lewis Miller and Patrick Yazbek injected energy that shifted momentum after a first half dominated by Canada. Alessandro Circati made an early crucial tackle, and Irankunda and Mohamed Toure justified their starts following their performances against New Zealand. The result marked Australia's seventh straight win and extended an 11-match unbeaten run under coach Popovic.
