Switzerland vs. Australia
at AFG Arena, St. Gallen, Switzerland on 2010-09-03 20:15
Score: 0-0 (0-0)
Previous Match: Slovenia vs Australia
Next Match: Poland vs Australia

A reasonably strong Australian side could only manage a 0-0 draw against an under-strength Swiss team.

The Swiss have a Euro qualifier coming up and didn't field their first choice side. Australia had most of its top players available. (Can we forget about Kewell now? He was injured again.)

The Socceroos had a pretty good first half and wasted some good chances. The Swiss probably had the better of the second half though and put a penalty over the bar. Schwarzer also made some key saves.

Osieck at least had a go and played an attacking formation. Lots of work to do before the Asian Cup in January though.
