Our winning goal was inevitable, says Australia's Milligan

Sydney: Mark Milligan believes Australia’s winner was “just a matter of time” after they edged into the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 Inter-Continental Play-off courtesy of Tim Cahill’s brace inTuesday’s hard-fought 2-1 extra-time win that resulted in a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Milligan’s loose pass had led to Omar Al Soma’s early opener for the visitors but Cahill’s 49th international goal levelled the tie on the night and on aggregate, before goal number 50 came in the second half of extra-time as the 37-year-old was once again his country’s hero.

And Melbourne Victory midfielder Milligan insisted that the team were always confident the breakthrough at Stadium Australia was coming.
