SOC:Socceroos draw with Swiss in final World Cup warm-up

Nestory Irankunda has put on a show as the Socceroos came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in their final warm-up game ahead of the World Cup.

The Swiss opened the scoring in the 14th minute before debutant Tete Yengi equalised in the 56th at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Saturday (Sunday AEST) in front of 6107 fans.

Like last week's 1-0 loss to Mexico, Switzerland were on top early, with Australia - albeit with a youthful line-up - only really settling after the drinks break in the 22nd minute and improving again after half-time substitutes.

That slow start will remain an area of concern ahead of next Saturday's Group D opener against Turkey in Vancouver, then matches against the United States and Paraguay.
