Australia win 2-0 to deny Turkey on World Cup return after 24 years

Two sublime goals by Australia's Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe sealed a 2-0 win in Vancouver on Saturday as Turkey suffered defeat on their first return to the men's World Cup since finishing third in 2002. Paul Okon-Engstler's perfect long pass over the top allowed Watford's Irankunda to run onto the ball, but the 20-year-old still had much to do and finished in style.
