The Socceroos completed a perfect first phase of 2022 World Cup qualification after defeating Jordan 1-0 to make it eight wins from eight games. With the eight-straight wins setting a new record, Australia now advance to the next stage with 28 goals scored against just two conceded.

The victory in stifling conditions at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait also represents the first time Australia has recorded back-to-back wins over Jordan, who have been knocked out of qualifying.
