00:00Australia taking on Palestine with both teams safely through to the next stage.
00:05The Socceroos were looking to move to a perfect 6-0 in their World Cup qualifiers.
00:11Wow, it's a little collision there and it's a penalty.
00:13Wow, it's a little harsh, isn't it?
00:16Giving Kasuni Yenge a chance to move Australia ahead in the opening minutes.
00:21And the goalkeeper gets the right way, but the kick was too good.
00:25And Australia leads after four and a half minutes.
00:28Playing in Perth for the first time since 2016.
00:31And it was a local favorite who made it two for the green and gold.
00:35Martin Boyle with the cutback and Taggart wasn't going to miss from there.
00:40And what a great moment for Adam Taggart.
00:42Coming in, Palestine had conceded just one goal in five games,
00:46but found themselves down three before the break.
00:49It is, it's a double for Kasuni Yenge.
00:52The Socceroos were clinical as Martin Boyle was instrumental on the West Coast.
00:59Martin Boyle couldn't miss, adds a goal to his two assists.
01:04And after a late handball, they'd add one more, courtesy of their newest star.
01:09Again, steps up and this time sends the keeper the wrong way.
01:14The first, we hoped, of many international goals for Australia.
01:19For this story, Iren Kunda.
01:21Another clean sheet for Australia was all that was left as the Socceroos win big.
01:26Five nil, the final score.
01:28Six from six for the Socceroos.
