SPO:Slow-start Socceroos draw with Swiss in final warm-up

The Socceroos are adamant they can get to the bottom of their slow starts ahead of their World Cup opener against Turkey after fighting back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Switzerland.

The Swiss opened the scoring in the 14th minute before debutant Tete Yengi deservedly equalised in the 56th at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on Saturday (Sunday AEST) in front of 6107 fans.

Like last week's 1-0 loss to Mexico, Switzerland dominated early, with Australia - albeit with a youthful line-up - only really settling after the drinks break in the 22nd minute and improving again after half-time substitutes.

Two of those substitutes - Cameron Burgess and Connor Metcalfe - combined to set up Yengi's equaliser in a slick team move.
