Australia has qualified for their fifth consecutive World Cup with an extraordinary 5-4 penalty shootout win after a 0-0 draw against Peru in Doha Qatar.
Substitute goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne, who was brought on for captain Maty Ryan solely for the shootout, made two saves, including the winning one, to send the green and gold to Qatar 2022 against all the odds.
The Socceroos were the better team throughout the 120 minutes but, along with Peru, struggled to create many clear cut chances.
