Australia booked their spot at a fifth consecutive FIFA World Cup by beating Peru in a gruelling intercontinental playoff victory in Qatar on Monday that will live long in the memory thanks to the exploits of Socceroos goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne.
Graham Arnold's team held firm over 120 goalless minutes before triumphing in a penalty shootout thanks in large part to Redmayne, who became the star of the show despite only coming on in the 120th minute of the match.
In what was only his third senior appearance for his country, the veteran Sydney FC shot-stopper emerged from the bench in the final minute of extra time specifically in order to replace No.
