Thanks a lot for following along. Joey Lynch’s full report is with us and ready for your review. We’ll be back with more minute-by-minute action when the Socceroos take on Curaçao in Melbourne on Tuesday night.

Updated

Jordy Bos is speaking to Paramount.

We needed something. First half we couldn’t really break through. Second half we kept on coming, we had some chances before, and it was coming down to the last 10 minutes … I got the goal in, and we got the win … so that’s important.

Irankunda added a much-needed spark when he was brought on at the break, a point not lost on Bos…

It’s really important to have players on the bench that can come on and bring energy. That really helped today and it ultimately got us the win.

Bos is quick to identify where the Socceroos need to improve for the match against Curaçao in Melbourne next week and further on to the World Cup.

We just need to bring more energy. We figured it out after half-time, and we just have to start with that in the first half from now on.
