Canada: If not this World Cup (Football World Cup 2026)? If this is not the victory of youth? Australia (Australia), known to the football world as 'Socceroos', started their World Cup campaign by beating Turkey 2-0 in Vancouver, Canada.

The Socceroos made history with the goals of Nestori Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe who emerged from the refugee camp. From the beginning of the match, Türkiye pulled the rush towards them. But Australia was playing defensive from the beginning.

In the 27th minute, Irankunda put the country ahead by scoring a single skill. He beat three defenders to score after receiving the ball from Australia's Paul Okon Engstler's pass. After the goal, he ran to the corner flag, which reminded him of legendary Australian footballer Tim Cahill.

However, Turkey had a chance to equalize minutes after Australia's first goal, which was snatched away by Australian goalkeeper Patrick Beach. After conceding the goal, Türkiye started attacking more. But due to the skill of the Australian defenders, Kukchura failed to score.

Arda Guler's dangerous free-kick was saved by Augie keeper Beech in the second half. In the 75th minute, Connor gave Australia a 2-0 lead with a strong left foot shot from outside the box. After several attempts, Türkiye could not return to the match.

As a result, Arda Guler's Türkiye started the World Cup campaign by losing to Australia. Irankunda was born in 2006 in a refugee camp in Tanzania province. From there, he trained in football in Adelaide-Perth and finally played for Bayern Munich, Grasshopper and now he plays in England's Watford club.

But Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell's country has got a bunch of young, energetic footballers, so it's good news for this giant of cricket.
