Nestory Irankunda said he had to tell Mohamed Touré to relax so he could finish his post-goal celebration after sending the Socceroos to a 2-0 upset victory over Turkey in their Group D World Cup match in Vancouver.
Irankunda's Brilliant Goal
Irankunda finished a brilliant end-to-end attack with a goal in the 27th minute, then ran to shadowbox the corner flag like former Socceroos champion Tim Cahill used to do.
'It was a good goal in my opinion,' Irankunda said. 'I had to dedicate the celebration to Tim Cahill.'
Australia's Youngsters Shine
The Socceroos stunned Turkey as Australia's youngsters shone in their opening World Cup win, showcasing the depth of talent in Australian football.
Irankunda's performance was a highlight, but the entire team contributed to a memorable victory that sets a positive tone for the rest of the tournament.
