   🇦🇺Australia 2–0 🇹🇷Turkey

   Nine shots to thirty. Twenty-eight percent of the ball. A two-nil win. Read that line twice, because Australia will. Nestory Irankunda struck first from Okon-Engstler's pass, Connor Metcalfe settled it, and in between a goalkeeper made eight saves and dared Turkey to find a way through. The expected goals barely favoured them, which is the analyst's way of saying this was won on nerve and last-ditch defending, not control. They will not apologise for a single minute of it. Nights like this are why you defend with your life.

   🇦🇺Australia 0–2 🇺🇸USA

   Australia will feel the first goal did for them. An eleventh-minute own goal handed the United States a lead, and from a side already on the back foot it asked too much. They saw little of the ball — thirty-eight percent — and mustered just 0.44 expected goals, Freeman's finish before half-time ending the contest as a contest. There was honest effort in it, if not the cutting edge the night demanded. One to learn from, not to dwell on.

   🇦🇺Australia 0–0 🇵🇾Paraguay

   Australia did almost everything but score. They had fifty-six percent of the ball, twelve shots to Paraguay's seven, five on target to two — and ran into a goalkeeper determined to keep his net clean, five saves and not one of them beaten. An expected-goals line of 0.57 is the honest catch, though: for all the territory, the genuinely clear chance never quite arrived. This was control without a cutting edge, the kind of goalless draw that feels like two points lost. They will create more than this and win. Today, the finish simply would not come.

   🇦🇺Australia 1–1 🇪🇬Egypt

   Australia hung on for dear life and were beaten where they had no more answers — the spot. Emam Ashour's early goal had them chasing, and it took an own goal to level a game Egypt largely controlled, the numbers stark at 0.87 expected goals to 1.36. They dug in, forced penalties, and there the run ended, four to two. Brave and stubborn to the last, but second-best on the night. Australia go home.
