Just as he stopped Tunisia, humble Harry Souttar is halting any praise of his individual heroics for the Socceroos.

Souttar's masterly defensive efforts against the Tunisians were key to Australia's breakthrough 1-0 win at the World Cup in Qatar on Saturday. 

But after just his third senior game since recovering from a knee reconstruction, Souttar deflected away any personal glory.

"I can go through the whole team and say what an unbelievable job they have done," he said.

"It's not a one-man team. All the lads did amazing, even the subs that came on knew their role, knew their jobs."

The 23-year-old from Aberdeen had played just one full senior game for his English club Stoke City since his surgery before arriving in Qatar.

His next was against reigning cup holders France in a 4-1 loss; now Tunisia as Australia celebrated just their third win in history at the cup finals.

"Obviously it's a little bit of a different feeling than the other day, coming off after that game," Souttar said.

"We were hanging on for a little bit towards the end, the last 15, 20 minutes.

"When the final whistle went, just the relief - all that hard work we have put in so far and over the qualification stages has come to that.

"I am just so pleased.

"But we have won one game. We have still got a huge, huge goal to play for, we want to get out of the group."
