Australia 0-0 Peru (5-4 on penalties)
Socceroos reach fifth straight World Cup finals

Australian football has a new entry in its folklore and in Andrew Redmayne, the Socceroos goalkeeper, a new icon.

After 120 minutes could not separate Graham Arnold’s side and Peru, qualification for the World Cup in Qatar came down to one moment in the crucible of a penalty shootout: Redmayne on the goalline and Alex Valera at the spot. All Australia needed was for the Universitario forward’s effort to go anywhere except the back of the net. Redmayne made sure it did not.
