SNAPSHOT OF AUSTRALIA'S WORLD CUP GAME AGAINST TUNISIA

* Result: Australia 1 Tunisia 0

* Key moment: Mitch Duke's glorious goal for the Socceroos was one to treasure. He ignited the counter-attack with a brilliant flick in midfield, and then charged into the area to meet Craig Goodwin's deflected cross with a perfect glancing header into the corner. Doubtless, it made all those years of doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 chin-ups before school every day worth all the sacrifice for the oft-maligned striker.

* Player of the match: Numerous contenders, with Aaron Mooy and Jackson Irvine terrific in midfield, but the rock-like Harry Souttar in central defence takes the plaudits. He may still be a bit ring rusty after his injury woes but the Stoke behemoth was a tower of strength all game, a giant symbol of his side's determination as he headed away any sign of danger time and again. He made one staggering block of a goal-bound shot just before the break and in the last five minutes made two crucial interventions as the Tunisians piled on the pressure.

* Stats that matter: At last, Australia have won another match at the World Cup finals - only the third ever - ending a wait that has gone on for 12 years since the Socceroos beat Serbia in a group game in 2010. They had not won in seven matches since then, suffering six defeats and one draw. It always helps when you are leading at halftime; astonishingly, this was the first time in 18 World Cup games that the Socceroos had been ahead at the break.

* Quote of the day: "No words. When the ball hit the net, it was the best moment of my life to date in my football career. I'm going to start crying because it's such a big moment. It's the best feeling in the world but I'm trying not to get too caught up with it because the job's not done yet, we've got one more game to win to get out the group." - Mitch Duke

* What's next: The Australians meet Denmark in their last group game on December 1 from 2am AEDT, and it looks as if it could well be a winner-takes-all affair with both teams set to be battling for qualification.
