Australia's World Cup aspirations have been reignited following a 3-1 victory over China in Adelaide on Thursday night. Facing a 1-0 deficit just before halftime, the Socceroos found themselves in a precarious position, with the threat of World Cup elimination looming large. However, Lewis Miller's equalizer, along with goals from Craig Goodwin and a stoppage-time strike by Nishan Velupillay, turned the tide and secured a crucial three points for the team in Tony Popovic's debut as head coach. This comeback victory not only boosts Australia's chances in the World Cup qualifiers but also marks a promising start for Popovic at the helm of the Socceroos.
