Australia Beat Turkiye 2-0 in FIFA World Cup 2026 as Patrick Beach Stars on Debut
Australia kicked off their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with a stunning 2-0 victory over Turkiye in Group D at BC Place, Vancouver.
Goalkeeper Patrick Beach delivered a remarkable performance on his international debut, making eight crucial saves to keep a clean sheet and frustrate the Turkish attack. The Socceroos took the lead through Nestory Irankunda, who cut inside and fired home a spectacular strike. Connor Metcalfe later added the second goal to seal a memorable win.
