00:00We have the USA against Australia coming up live.
00:05The anthems are done. Here comes the heavy metal.
00:10It's time for the Battle of Seattle.
00:14USA against Australia.
00:16From USA's opening 4-1 victory over Paraguay in Los Angeles.
00:21Now Australia's lineup features two changes from their high noon in Seattle.
00:25And this is the United States of America against Australia.
00:32And you can hardly hear yourself think that Turkey put them under in that.
00:37But now they've got to defend.
00:39And the first save of the afternoon, Matt Freeze guarding his front post to deny Toure.
00:45Yeah, an early mistake. A giveaway.
00:48Chris Richards not expecting the pass.
00:51Australia tried to take advantage.
00:57Dest.
00:59Nicely returned to Serginho Dest.
01:02Shot was on target. Bravely blocked away.
01:11Serginho Dest has scored three international goals over his career in the US team.
01:17Scored in a friendly against Senegal in March.
01:20That was goal bound.
01:26And it's a good search.
01:29Oh, and it's in!
01:31The USA score early again!
01:35And it's another own goal!
01:38Cameron Burgess puts it into his own net!
01:44For a second game in a row at this tournament, the USA force an own goal to take the lead!
01:53It's USA 1-Australia nil!
01:57What a start from the host nation!
02:00They're really fluid with their combinations, but they get runners in behind.
02:08Down that channel, it's an excellent run.
02:10And it's a really good ball into a dangerous area.
02:14Pepe's waiting for it.
02:16It doesn't arrive to him that gets the last touch into the back of his own net.
02:22Belligan does all the work.
02:23And Burgess is the unlucky defender who kicks it into the back of his own goal.
02:30It's the seventh own goal of this World Cup already to this.
02:36Italiano's done well.
02:39Pellupille!
02:41Trying to set it up for Leckie.
02:43Mathieu Leckie, the joint most international goals of all the players in this Australian squad.
02:49It's a chance.
02:51It changes the game plan, doesn't it, that?
02:54In-swinger.
02:56Headed down by McKinney!
02:58Too many bodies in the way, it's come off an American arm.
03:02This shouldn't happen to this Australian defence.
03:03There's plenty of height and physicality amongst that back line.
03:07But somehow, he gets a free header six yards out.
03:15Much better.
03:17Leckie.
03:18He's got three in the centre to aim for here.
03:20Good delivery from Leckie!
03:22Now, that's the most pressure, really, the USA have faced.
03:27Shuffled away and out for Australia's first corner of the match.
03:32Yeah, first real danger.
03:34Barring that Torre effort, straight up Matt Freeze.
03:37And usually, in positions like this.
03:42Suited jumps.
03:44And Leckie, happy to leave it out.
03:46He believes he's got to get a corner here.
03:48And the officials agree.
03:52Well, that's six foot six.
03:54He's going to win most first contacts.
03:56It's what you can do on the second.
03:58And McKinney does well to nick the ball ahead of Burgess.
04:01Don't want to give away a penalty.
04:03Don't want to give away a penalty.
04:05Now, rehearsed move.
04:06Dest!
04:08Might still be!
04:09The flag is up.
04:13It's not going to count for Alex Freeman.
04:17USA fans celebrating.
04:19But the flag was raised for offside.
04:26I think it's tight.
04:28The flag went up immediately.
04:30It's a well-worked free kick to the edge of the box.
04:34To the free man.
04:37De'Astu has an excellent first touch.
04:40Tell you what.
04:42He might be okay.
04:43After factual review, the goal scorer was not in offside position.
04:50Goal is correct.
04:51USA 2.
04:54Australia 0.
04:56I don't think I've ever been in a football stadium as loud as this.
05:02I felt as though he was okay.
05:06He reacts so quickly to the ball looping in the air.
05:10And he's brave as well.
05:11To get there ahead of Patrick Beach.
05:15His reactions are really good.
05:20Bravery to get there ahead of the goalkeeper.
05:23So just to explain it.
05:25Freeman is not in an offside position.
05:28And although Freeman, scorer of the US's second goal.
05:34Dest, who's had a great first half.
05:37Patrick Beach got down to make the same.
05:41He has been electric.
05:44He's certainly not putting the reins on him.
05:46He's getting forward at every opportunity.
05:51Not just give USA something to worry about.
05:54Now, Balogun can't be offside.
05:56He was inside his own half.
05:58Foller in Balogun.
06:00And he couldn't get the shot away early enough.
06:03What an opportunity for the USA to get their third.
06:06What a recovery from Alessandro Ciacchetti.
06:11So much space for him to run into.
06:16How well.
06:18Metcalf.
06:47Leckie.
06:49The second half.
06:52Volpato.
06:53First touch.
06:54Releases Irankunda.
06:56Now, this is the chance he's been waiting for.
06:59Who's with him?
07:01Volpato.
07:02What an introduction that could have been.
07:07First time he's been involved in play.
07:09That's exactly the sort of thrust that Australia have required.
07:13Yeah, since he's come on the pitch.
07:15I said he's really stationed himself up against Tim Ream.
07:17Because he knows he's got the pace on him.
07:19He tries to play him offside.
07:21But he stays on.
07:22It's an excellent run.
07:23Really intelligent.
07:26This is where Australia are at their best.
07:27When they try and counter-attack at pace.
07:29Utilise that quality.
07:32And that energy in behind.
07:35Conor Metcalf goes to ground.
07:36I think it's Anthony Robinson, is it, that brings him down on.
07:40Potentially checking a penalty.
07:43USA delighted to beat Paraguay in their first game.
07:45They were disappointed to concede in that match, though.
07:49They've not had a clean sheet in any of their last nine games.
07:53USA.
07:55Irankunda.
07:58Metcalf.
08:00Just couldn't get the power.
08:03But there's no doubt about it.
08:05Australia are beginning to find something in attack that wasn't there earlier.
08:10Well, those substitutions.
08:12Conor Metcalf.
08:13Irankunda.
08:14The two goal scorers from the first game.
08:16On the pitch.
08:17They look a far bigger threat now.
08:23Here it comes.
08:26Sutra trying to leap.
08:30And it was Freeman who jumped with him.
08:32It's going to be a free kick to the USA.
08:34Fox following up.
08:36Sutra it was.
08:38Committed the foul.
08:40Freeman getting there first.
08:48This is the referee's view.
08:52This is the referee's view.
09:12starting to get bodies forward.
09:15Irankunda got blocked off by Chris Richards.
09:17It's a waste for Australia.
09:19They've swung in the corner.
09:21Italiano.
09:23Took a little dink on the way through there.
09:26But still alive.
09:27Missed by Sutra.
09:29Garia can't get a clean shot either.
09:32Well, his was at the third or fourth chance because there was a few before him.
09:38This is a real period of Australia domination.
09:43USA having to withstand.
09:46Suter misses the initial effort.
09:51All of them with the unbeaten start.
09:54All making a statement to this tournament.
09:57Tillman with late energy.
10:00Chiquetti just ahead of right.
10:04As the referee blows the final whistle.
10:07And the USA have done it.
