San Pedro Sula: Australia put on an dominant display to earn an important 0-0 draw against Honduras in the first leg of their FIFA World Cup 2018 Russia Intercontinental Play-off at the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano on Friday evening.
While it didn’t find the back of the net, the general performance from the Socceroos will please coach Ange Postecoglou as he now looks ahead to Wednesday’s crucial second leg at Stadium Australia in Sydney.
Return of the Jedi
Australian captain Mile Jedinak came into the match underdone after just over 90 minutes of action for Aston Villa this season after overcoming a groin injury. In a typically dogged display, he showed why he is so important to this Socceroos side.
He may not be the flashiest player, but his presence and leadership, two intangibles that cannot be measured, are immense and provide so much to this Socceroos side.
