Tim Cahill

Australia 3 - Japan 1

Sports

Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie, oi oi oi! Half a dozen of minutes before the end whistle, Japan was leading against Australia 1-0 and sure to win the opening match of group F at the World Cup 2006. But then the first serious upset of the tournament happened: the Socceroos scored thrice in the final minutes. Tim Cahill made both the equaliser (84) and winner (89), while fellow substitute John Aloisi settled the match in stoppage time (92). So, if there was still any doubt: everything coach Guus Hiddink touches turns to gold.
