Australia thanks to heroic role for substitute goalkeeper to World Cup in Qatar | Football

sport">Goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne became the hero of Australia. The goalkeeper had only entered the field as a substitute in the 120th minute, to distinguish himself when taking the penalty kicks. He succeeded. Peru missed twice from 11 meters.

sport">Australia has been placed in a group at the World Cup with France, Denmark and Tunisia. It is the fifth time in a row that the country is going to the World Cup. In 2006, Australia was led by Guus Hiddink, while now René Meulensteen is an assistant with the team. The Netherlands met Australia at the 2014 World Cup in the group stage and then won 3-2.

sport">“I am incredibly proud of the players,” said national coach Graham Arnold. “I don’t think anyone knows what the boys went through to get to this point. It’s been incredibly tough, in all the matches we’ve had to play for qualifying. It’s fantastic that it worked.”
