Irankunda and Metcalfe delivered the opener

Australia 2–0 Turkey. Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe scored the goals that stunned a Turkey side that had 78% possession and 30 shots. Vincenzo Montella could not believe it afterward. Popovic called this young squad "special." Irankunda became the youngest Australian to score at a World Cup, and Watford's 20-year-old now has Villarreal watching.
