Australia have one foot at the FIFA World Cup 2026 after a stunning and dramatic 1-0 win over Japan at Perth Stadium on Thursday night.

Aziz Behich's 90th minute screamer broke a 16-year-drought against Japan and ensures Australia's destiny remains in their own hands should Saudi Arabia defeat Bahrain.

Paul Williams is in Perth with Japanese journalist Sean Carroll to bring us all the action, while we hear from Firzie Idris in Jakarta, Hassanin Mubarak discusses Graham Arnold's first game in charge of Iraq, while Sultan Al Ali talks about the impact Cosmin Olaroiu can have on the UAE.
