A great goal from Leckie unleashed a frenzy in Australia

Just when Tunisia scored against France quarter an hour into the second half and turned group D upside down, at that moment he appeared Matthew Leckie to finish well against Australia and seal the only goal of a historic victory against a Denmark completely obscured, a selection that became its shadow world. The ‘socceroos’ just reached the qualification for the round of 16 after completing the first stage where they showed themselves to be very solid and where only the ‘almighty’ France beat them. Two wins and second place in the group allow them to emulate the team that made it through the round Germany 2006.

Due to the rush, the Danes started a bit nervous, although they soon got into a fast game where the ‘aussies’ they also showed their teeth when they arrived, like a shot from McGree moments after starting the crash hit a defender. Despite that warning, it is Denmark the one who had the first two notable occasions, in the boots of Lindstrom first, and of Jensen, then. Goalkeeper Ryan responded well in the end.

Minutes passed and the pressure on the men’s rival area of hujlmand are increasing, although they cannot leave their backs unprotected before the direct game of those arnold. This is especially true in the bands where he plays percussion Denmarkfrom which balls are hung cleverly or deep plays with backward passes that put the back in difficulty.

Australia He also did not lose face in the game and stretched when he saw an option. Gradually he was able to reduce those minutes of Danish effervescence and command the rhythm of the game. The game took place in different stages, very intense, generally equal and almost no chances. In this trend came the break.

Both teams switched benches, looking for more presence Denmark and more pauses Australia. The disturbing news came from the other meeting, where Tunisia he was first France, where the tie left two teams. Almost a minute after knowing this incident, a great fight with ‘aussies’ is brilliantly limited by Leckiewhich sent his team back to the next round.

The Danes need at least two goals to qualify and hjulmand he played his last offensive tricks. He found the equalizer moments later after a penalty was called Dolbergbut saw how he was flagged for offside.

I tried to squeeze Denmarkbut his game is not consistent or fluid. Australia He defended himself well, although given the tightness of the result, all scenarios were open as the end approached. Any action can turn the game. And the Danes came close to equalizing in extra time on two occasions, but history was already written. The discipline and effort of the ‘Aussies’ left the Danes and Tunisians with no options.
