Summary
Well, that was exhausting.
It was never likely to be straightforward but an unlikely starting XI and formation set the tone for a night of chaos. An early Syrian goal tore up the script and when Brad Smith hobbled off injured it was easy to believe Australia’s old curses had come back to haunt them. Fortunately Tim Cahill’s miraculous forehead saved the day. A quick equaliser and then a late late winner did the business for the home side.
Australia deserved it on the balance of play over two legs but their inability to put teams away is making life extremely hard for Socceroos supporters. They will have to be more clinical against their CONCACAF opponents in November - either Honduras or Panama you’d expect - if they want to reach Russia. They will be the 21st and 22nd matches of a two-year globetrotting odyssey, and the chance to make all the fingernail biting worthwhile.
Thanks for joining us tonight. We’ll see you back here for more nerve-shredding very soon.

Adam emails on the issue of talent development:
Talent development in Australia? Not sure what it’s like in Sydney, we live on the Central Coast and once you’re over 12 it’s virtually impossible to get a look in. You can drag two teams to the Grand Final and win every accolade at your local club and hardly get a look in. The local clubs and the “rep sides” seem to have very little to do with each other.

Raymond Reardon asks:
Do you think that Tim Cahill’s 50 goals for Australia are more important than Wayne Rooney’s for England ?
I think they are perceived to be so, absolutely. His strikes in 2006 alone probably carry more emotional weight than any of Rooney’s haul for England.
Tonight was just another remarkable chapter in a career full of incredible moments.

Australia 2-1 Syria (AET)
Australia hold on, by the skin of their teeth.
Updated
2ET - 32 min - That was a netbuster from the big number nine. Walloped it with all his might, beat the wall, the keeper, but not the upright.
Australia panicking in defence unable to clear their lines, the ball pinging all over the shop... until eventually a merciful offside flag is raised.
2ET - 31 min - Al Soma smashes the free-kick against the post!
Two minutes of added time.
Updated
2ET - 30 min - The ball just being thumped towards Australia’s box now, proper “in the mixer” stuff. And it leads to a free-kick, just outside the penalty area...
1 of sports great ironies comes when a team who’ve wasted time for an hour desperately clamour for a fast game once falling behind #AUSvSYR

Syria very very guilty of this.
2ET - 27 min: Ten vs ten now with Kruse on the deck being treated for cramp.
Degenek makes the tackle of his life on Al Soma who was almost though on Ryan after a raking 50m diagonal. That was a pivotal intervention and one that could easily have led to a penalty.
Updated
2ET - 24 min: Syria doing their best to push forward but it’s desperate stuff with ten men. It also leaves space in behind that Kruse exploits with his pace.
There’s chaos on the touchline with the Syrian bench furious with the officials for what appears to be miscommunication between referee and assistant over an offside call.
Robbie Kruse can barely walk with cramp. Trent Sainsbury is down with a knock. My fingers are blistered.
2ET - 22 min - Sport, hey? As we touched on at the half time of extra time, Cahill is probably only still being picked because of the paucity of alternatives. Still, nearly 38-years old he produces in the 109th minute of a crucial international.
2ET - 21 min: No penalties now. A Syrian equaliser would see them through on away goals.
Delirium for Australia and it’s that man again the immortal Tim Cahill. Mooy works space down the left for Kruse and he dinks a superb cross that just hangs like a volleyball set for Cahill to thump with the biggest forehead sweet spot in football beyond the despairing Alma.

GOAL! Australia 2-1 Syria (Cahill, 109)
Cahill. Header. Corner flag punched.
@JPHowcroft Following the updates from my home in Berkshire UK. If we can't beat a 10 men Syria side at home we don't deserve to qualify!

2ET - 17m: Rukavystya goes down in the box - you’ve seen them given Geoff! - but the former fourth offical doesn’t give it. It looks like he does for a split second though, but his hand was pointing for the goal kick.
2ET - 16 min: Juric does well, finds space outside the box and shoots forcefully enough to force Alma to make a low save.
Elliot Car-Barnsley asks:
Despite the goal, would Australia be ahead if Cahill wasn’t playing?
It’s tempting to agree, but there are precious few alternatives. Juric is about it. Qualify or not, talent development will be under the microscope for Australia.

Half Time, Extra Time: Australia 1-1 Syria
15 minutes away from penalties.
1ET - 16 min: Mooy again, from the right this time, picks out Rukavytsya in the box and his instinctive first-time effort needs Alma to be sharp to keep the ball out. Yet another corner is wasted by Australia.
1ET - 14 min: Syria release the pressure with a couple of forays into Australian territory. Australia looking to Mooy for everything now and his long pass to Leckie is headed across the box first time and Cahill collides with the goalkeeper as the ball drops the wrong side of the crossbar for the Socceroos. Not that it would have counted because any contact with a keeper is now penalised.
1ET - 11 min: Corner from Mooy causes trouble in the Syrian box but the ball bounces safely clear. Sainsbury shepherds the ball out for another set piece - and was he fouled on the way? He might just have been clipped by Al Khatib but nothing’s given.
The players look like they’re running through treacle out there. Syria going down and staying down at every opportunity.
1ET - 9 min: Australia have bossed possession in extra time, as you’d expect, but there’s not much energy out there any more and plenty of breaks in play to interrupt momentum. One of those stoppages is lengthy after a clash of heads in the Syrian box.
1ET - 6 min: Tomi Juric enters the fray in place of Tom Rogic. He moves up front alongside Cahill. He’s into the action immediately but his header drifts harmlessly wide.
@JPHowcroft I am following this on a train in the UK with a dodgy internet connection. Please don't let it get to a penalty shoot-out.

RED CARD! Al Mawas
Second yellow card for Syria’s number eight. Mahmoud Al Mawas left his foot in a challenge on Matt Leckie and the replacement referee issues a red within minutes of taking the field.
Updated
1ET - 3 min: Australia have the first chance of extra time. The ball bounces kindly for Rukavytsya and he strikes a low drive from just inside the box but it’s repelled by Alma.
1ET - 1 min: Underway in the first 15 of extra time.
Updated
@JPHowcroft does the away goals rule still apply in extra time?
— Hamish Collings-Begg (@hamish_cb) October 10, 2017
Yes it does, so if Syria score now, Australia will need to score two.
This Australian qualifying campaign began in 2015, 20 international games ago, in Kyrgyzstan. Another 30 minutes is required for the right to play a Central American country for the right to go to Russia next year.
Drama upon drama in Sydney. Ravshan Irmatov, the Uzbek referee (who’s marshalled the game excellently) has picked up an injury. The Uzbek fourth official Ilgiz will deputise in extra time.

Full Time: Australia 1-1 Syria
Extra time it is.
92 min: Kruse thinks he’s in behind the Syrian defence but a handball has been spotted and play gets called back.
Extra time approaching like a labrador at a toddler’s highchair.

There is a worrying lack of urgency about the Socceroos play. Little movement, seem to be lacking a spark. Not promising
90 min: Rogic again goes close from range but his shot is deflected away for a corner. Again Australia can do nothing with it.
Mardikian has now been subbed following his cramp. Replaced by Osama Omari.
Into four minutes of injury time.
88 min: So unlucky for Syria. A Promising build up creates space for Al Khatib to run into but the crucial pass is underhit and the sub slips as he tries to regather possession. That looked very dangerous.
Now there’s a long break in play for a Syrian with cramp. on the halfway line. Mardikian’s teammates are furious Australia didn’t put the ball out of play immediately. Then the Socceroos are furious that the cramp is being treated on-field, and not with the player being taken out of play. Cramp is not an injury. Play on.
All that bad blood ends with Hamwiah getting a yellow card for arriving second to a 50:50 in midfield.
Updated
84 min: Rukavytsya fluffs his lines, crossing out of play from a promising wide position. Postecoglou has made his share of bold selection calls this campaign, and the recall of the Maccabi Haifa flyer is one of them.
82 min: Australia’s interplay has gone awry in the last ten minutes or so. Those sharp connections in the final third haven’t come off and Syria’s defence has coped well with any slow long balls sent its way.
80 min: A rare period of midfield scrapping slows the momentum of what’s been an unrelenting night. It probably favours Syria until Al Mawas hacks often enough at Mooy to earn a yellow card. He’s another that will miss the next game.
Updated
78 min: We’re heading for extra-time and penalties, as things stand.

75 min: Rogic makes a hash of the set-piece. Australia continue to attack though, earn another corner, but that again comes to nought.
Syria complete the sub of Mido with Hamwiah coming on in his place.
Looks like Rukavytsya is going to line up on the left and Kruse will slip inside, where he originally lined-up.
73 min: Another free kick to Australia on the edge of Syria’s box after Mido’s reckless challenge on Leckie. The Syrian defender looks to have injured himself in the process. He leaves the field on a stretcher.
Sub from Postecoglou in the meantime; Rukavytsya on for Troisi.
70 min: Another good Syrian attack. Mardikian is freed down the left, he feeds Al Kkatib but Al Soma doesn’t anticipate his pullback and Australia clear.
The Socceroos go down the other end and Rogic has the best two chances of the half. First he strikes with his right foot low to the keeper’s left from inside the box after a flowing move. Then he curls a right-footed effort from just outside the D that flies just past the far post.
68 min: Corner for Australia gets returned to the taker Mooy and his second effort finds Cahill’s head but it’s no trouble for Alma.
The Socceroos are trying to remain patient but the anxiety in the stands is starting to tell.
66 min: Al Khatib has transformed this game. Syria’s attacks are no longer rapid scurrying sorties. When the ball is near him he applies a gravitational force, controlling possession and slowing time around him. Mardikian again is the man to profit but his cross can’t find Al Soma in the box.
64 min: Syria are growing into this half. Al Soma in behind the Australian defence this time but his shot from a tight angle is taken by Ryan.
Australia can’t capitalise in transition and when they lose possession now Al Khatib sends panic through the crowd.
Updated
61 min: Al Khatib makes an immediate impact, creating space and offering composure in the final third. Mardikian benefits but his snapshot from outside the box is straight at Ryan.
59 min: Kruse is again the outlet on the left, fed by Rogic this time, but his cross is put behind for a corner. Mooy’s delivery is lovely, Leckie leaps from the pack and flashes a header just beyond the far post.
The dangerous Al Khatib looks like he’s going to get a run. He’s coming on for Al Jafal.
57 min: Decent few moments for Syria. They’re winning a lot of second balls which makes them dangerous in broken play. A minute or so in Australian territory led to a few nervy moments but no clear goalscoring opportunities. Leckie invites more pressure with a sloppy clearance but the home side survive.
55 min: Troisi wriggles free in midfield, feeds Kruse down the left, his cross is decent towards Cahill but the expected header doesn’t arrive. Instead a chested pass towards Mooy lacks pace and Syria clear.
Australia persist, atticking down the right this time but another cross destined for Cahill is intercepted.
Eventually Rogic larrups one from downtown but Alma handles it with aplomb.
52 min: Australia’s defence appears to have pushed up higher this half, meaning Syria’s brief counters are being neutered much sooner and the home dominance of possession is near total. It also means a lack of space for Australia to exploit in behind the Syrian defence. This could turn into a siege.
50 min: Dangerous free kick for Australia, 25m out, just to the right of the D. Mooy strikes it over the wall but Alma saw it all the way and saves comfortably.
Updated
48 min: Australia resuming where they left off at the interval, dominating possession, probing, shuffling around the Syrian half but not finding an opening.
First yellow for Syria, Mardik Mardikian was late on Jurman. Syria’s #19 would also miss the next game if his team qualified for it.
Updated
46 min: Underway again in Sydney. No changes at the break.

Half Time: Australia 1-1 Syria
Perfectly balanced then at half time. Al Soma’s early strike quickly cancelled out by a trademark Cahill header.
Australia began nervously but gre into the game as the half wore on. 19 and a half World Cup qualifying matches comes down to 45 minutes of football.
See you after the break.
45 min: Mooy is playing more advanced than we’ve become accustomed to, which makes Australia look livelier around the box but more vulnerable as soon as Syria break.
Half shout for handball on the edge of Syria’s box but nothing given.
43 min: Al Jaffal is down injured and everyone can have a breather just before half-time.
Postecoglou sending on instructions, seemingly trying to stymie Syria’s counterattacks at source.
42 min: Lovely build up play from Australia with Rogic central to it all. Eventually the ball reaches Kruse inside the box but he eschews the shooting opportunity in favour of a hopeful ball towards Cahill and it’s cleared by Syria. Kruse should have pulled the trigger.
Second yellow card for Australia, and it’s another big one. Milligan is cautioned for nothing much and he is another that will now miss the inter-confederation playoff should the Socceroos get there.
39 min: I don’t envy anyone trying to tactically unpick this half. Australia are refreshingly fluid in possession with players switching positions often in the final third. Milligan is the point at the base of everything but in front of him is perpetual motion.
When play slows Mooy looks to pick a direct pass but Syria are well set to defend them.
Updated
36 min: So close for Rogic! He accepts a throw-in just inside Syria’s half and allows the ball to bounce a few times before smashing his boot through it. It whistles just past the right-hand post. Rogic shielded possession superbly in that move to create just enough space to shoot.
35 min: After that nervy start Australia are now well on top and creating regular opportunities. Syria still look tasty on the counterattack though, especially when they’re able to get bodies in support of Al Soma who’s doing his best to unsettle the Socceroos’ back three.
Can I retweet myself? Leckie the key https://t.co/JLqnyPM4Pn
— Steve Horvat (@Steve_Horvat) October 10, 2017
31 min: Another good effort by Australia, Leckie this time, cutting in from the right and shooting low with his left foot towards the near post that Alma does well to get down and smother.
Australia look so much better with Mooy on the field. He’s increasingly dictating play and enabling Troisi, Rogic and the wide men freedom to roam.
Late to this, Sorry Simon, and other Town fans:
May I, on behalf of all Huddersfield Town fans all over the World, personally thank Ange for dropping Aaron Mooy tonight. If he could book him an early first class flight home and decent UberLUX from the airport back to his house as well, that would be even better. Cheers, Ange.
28 min: Decent interplay in the final third from Mooy and Rogic forces a corner. Syria deal with it well but Australia recycle and Mooy, Troisi and Cahill combine to fashion a chance in the six-yard box but it ricochets away off an unknowing Syrian defender.
Kevin Bevan emails in:
This game has the look of a 3 3. Mind you I’m still smarting from the Welsh defeat last night.
Updated
25 min: Yellow card for Leckie and I’m not entirely sure why. There was some shirt tugging and he dived in (but seemed to win the ball) near the right touchline around midfield. The outcome is one of Postecoglou’s most trusted servants is now suspended for the next qualifying match, should Australia progress.
21 min: Australia building into this game. Rogic again with a lovely ball through to Kruse this time but he was marginally offside. Syria still look dangerous on their rapid counters though, Degenek only just got away with a high boot on Al Jaffal.
The game still being played at a skittish pace. Australia are trying to settle the tempo but there just aren’t enough bodies in midfield from either side to prevent an end-to-end feel whenever a move breaks down.
19 min: Good play from Troisi breaking through into the penalty area and forcing a decent save low to the keeper’s right. Nothing comes of the corner.
We complain about surfaces overseas yet play our biggest game on a surface that has had problems for years. Too wet tonight.

Lots of players struggling with their footing on the ANZ Stadium surface tonight.
16 min: Ooooh. Al Soma almost connects with a cross from a couple of yards out but it skims over his head. Syria looking lively in attack.
Updated
GOAL! Australia 1-1 Syria (Cahill, 13)
Cometh the hour and all that. Who else? Tim Cahill, header, bosh!
Rogic did well in midfield, fed Leckie on the burst down the right and his cross is a work of art, fast, arcing and right on Cahill’s noggin and Australia’s record goalscorer doesn’t miss from there.
Sighs of relief all round ANZ Stadium!
Updated
12 min: Mooy’s controversial omission lasts 10 minutes with the injured Smith forced to succumb to his injury. Presumably Kruse will move to left wingback and Mooy will sit alongside Milligan.
When Australia have enjoyed brief spells of possession it’s been clumsy with lots of stray passes and players second guessing their next movement. Hopefully Mooy will make a difference.
10 min: This game has yet to really establish a rhythm. Syria are hassling, and fouling it must be said, in midfield, disrupting any Australian tempo. When the ball breaks the Syrian way Ange’s midfield looks porous, with Milligan woefully outnumbered in any counter.
Updated
8 min: Brad Smith has gone down with what looks like a hip pointer injury, and he does not look happy at all.
GOAL! Australia 0-1 Syria (Al Soma, 7)
Disaster for Australia. Milligan with a poor turnover in midfield, Syria belt forward from halfway and the ball is slipped through to Al Soma behind the Socceroo defence who lifts the ball expertly over the onrushing Ryan.
Updated
4 min: First chance of the match goes to Troisi. Neat play from Rogic who ghosts past a couple of red shirts before feeding Troisi who dallies and his shot is blocked.
Australia looking to move the ball forward quickly in the first phase of attacking transition. The link between Milligan and Rogic already looks vital.
Updated
2 min: Syria, unbeaten in their last eight internationals, have the best of the opening minute but an Al Jaffal foul slows things down and allows both sides time to gather their thoughts.
I should have pointed out already, Australia in gold shirts, shorts and green socks. Syria in all red.
Updated

What tactics will Ange use tonight?
The attack-minded line-up suggests he expects to dominate possession and the selections of Troisi and Kruse indicate he wants pace and ball-carriers to unsettle the Syrian defence.
It’s notable Mooy and Rogic are not starting alongside each other.
Team selection’s gone down well.

On selection changes: “We said we’d make a few changes, get some fresh legs out there... Aaron, Juric, Aziz and Josh miss out.”
On Mooy’s dropping: “Its par for the course, he’s no different to anyone else.”
On the attacking midfield formation: “Hopefully they’re all in the box trying to score goals. We want to take the game to the opposition from the start.”
“I’m sure they’re ready for tonight.”

No Aaron Mooy! A 3-3-3-1 formation!? Loud Noises!
Blimey O’Riley, for the game of his life Ange Postecoglou isn’t taking the conservative route.
The goalkeeper and the back three are as expected, along with Mark Milligan screening in midfield, but it gets pretty wild thereafter. Brad Smith somehow gets a recall, Matt Leckie switches to right wingback, and the central attacking four features the mobility of James Troisi and Robbie Kruse, along with the guile of Tom Rogic and big game aura of Tim Cahill.
It's make or break. #AUSvSYR

All or Nothing
It is once again as it is always destined to be for the Socceroos, a nail-biting climax to a World Cup qualifying campaign. Australia host Syria in the second leg of the AFC playoff at ANZ Stadium tonight, hoping to secure safe passage to the inter-confederation playoff (most likely against Panama or Honduras) next month.
It’s impossible not to hark back to similar nights in Australian football history, so many laced with tragedy, before the exhilaration of 2005. They just have to do things the hard way, don’t they?
Australia secured a 1-1 draw in Syria last Thursday, meaning they have a crucial away goal in their favour that will come into play if it’s 0-0 after extra time. They also looked a better team than Syria in Malaysia so Socceroos fans should be cautiously optimistic.
All eyes are on Ange Postecoglou in what could prove to be his final match in the Australian dugout. A first eleven has not materialised over the marathon campaign and rumours have swirled all day of Aaron Mooy not making the final cut tonight.
“I’ve been pretty big on preaching to the players to treat every game like it is your last and that way you appreciate every one of them,” Postecoglou said earlier this week. “If Tuesday is it for me then I won’t go into it with any different feeling than I have any other game. [But] I don’t take it for granted that I’m coaching my country ... every time we play it’s a great honour, and when you play at home there’s always a buzz.”
