The Socceroos - plus one of world football's greatest ever strikers - have rallied around Lucas Herrington after the teenager's miss in a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Egypt.
With scores locked at 1-1 after extra-time, Harry Souttar blasted Australia's opening penalty into the stands and while Jackson Irvine and Awer Mabil both converted, Herrington, 18, hit the bar with the fourth.
Maty Ryan, swapped in for Patrick Beach for the shootout, couldn't save any of Egypt's four spot-kicks and Australia lost 4-2.
