Bailey Wright's Australia end Syria World Cup dream
Wednesday, October 11th 2017
Australia have qualified to face USA, Panama or Honduras in a FIFA World Cup play-off final.
Bailey Wright's Australia are just two games away from a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, after a 3-2 aggregate win against Syria.
Two headers from Tim Cahill cancelled out an early Omar Al Somah strike in the second leg as the Socceroos won 2-1 in Sydney. The national sides drew 1-1 in last Friday's tie.
Cahill's brace included his 50th international goal. He became the 59th player to achieve this feat - the first to do so for the Socceroos.
Syria did come close to stealing a shock win when Al Somah's free kick struck the post, just minutes from the end.
The result ends Syria's World Cup dream and sets up a two-legged play-off final for Australia against the side who finish fourth in the Concacaf group.
These matches are expected to be played between November 6th-14th.
Wright did not feature in Tuesday's victory after he was ruled out through injury. The City skipper had also been suspended for the first leg play-off with Syria.
He will return to Bristol with City's next fixture at home to Burton Albion on Friday, October 13th (7.45pm).
