The Socceroos are unable to replicate the famous upset win from 20 years ago, going down 1-0 after a second-half Ollie Watkins strike.
Next up AU v NZ, Australian day and start time please? - Big Ben. It was a solid performance from the Socceroos against the world number five this morning, with a couple of chances to Kye Rowles, Ryan Strain and Connor Metcalfe going begging. But England's class and quality eventually shone through, especially in the second half as Gareth Southgate brought on his bigger players as they prepare for their European Championship qualifier against Italy in a few days' time.
Graham Arnold handed out debuts to two players - Lewis Miller and Mo Toure - while some of the Socceroos' lesser-known players like Metcalfe, Strain, and Cameron Burgess were all impressive, alongside more senior squad members like Craig Goodwin, Martin Boyle and Harry Souttar. Arnold will take a lot of confidence from this result into their game against New Zealand on Wednesday morning, which kicks off at the same time of 5:45am AEST.
