Hrustic appeared in the 83rd minute to hit a volley from outside the area that bounced off a rival defender and entered the goal defended by Khalid Eisa. With a touch of luck, his ball was enough to give victory to Australia, which next Monday, in Doha, will face Peru again, just like four years ago. So, the winner was the South American team, which took the prize and traveled to Russia 2018.

Hrustic’s goal put an end to the uncertainty. United Arab Emirates played at a high level. His football has given a growth spurt and during many sections of the game he clearly dominated the game. And, above all, Suhail stood out, who at 19 years old proved to have much more quality than his teammates.

His were almost all the occasions of danger. Electric from both wings, he annoyed Australia excessively, who could not prevent assisted in Canedo’s goalwho served the United Arab Emirates to counter Irvine’s goal in the 53rd minute.

Nevertheless, Hrustic appeared to avoid surprise. His volley was enough for Australia to, for the moment, stay on the edge of the World Cup. You just need one more step to cross over to the side of success. Peru will try to prevent it.
