Australia ranked 23rd according to @TheAthleticFC in their re-rankings.
"Australia only managed 28 per cent possession against Turkey, but that was all they needed for a 2-0 win.
Pragmatic coach Tony Popovic has made them hard to break down, and this is a side that could exceed expectations. While Turkey have star names in attack, it was Australia’s 20-year-old Nestory Irankunda who produced the game’s magic moment for the opening goal."

- 8 saves

Just an overall outstanding performance from Beach, and great decision by Tony Popovic to start him over Mathew Ryan.
