You've got to hand it to Syria - they give it everything they've got. Twice Australia deservedly took the lead and twice the Syrians fought back to level the scores. In the end, Rogic settled it in injury time. We played reasonably well and deserved a win, but we'll need to do better. Results elsewhere mean we have a favourable draw.
