Re-writing Socceroos History - 2002 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - Oceania Round 2, 1st Leg - NZ v AUS

After a disappointing showing in the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup, Australia face off against New Zealand in Round 2 of the OFC's World Cup Qualifiers. The winner of this two-legged playoff will face a further home and away playoff with the 5th placed nation from CONMEBOL's qualification group. Australia's progression from Round 1 included a world record victory for an international fixture over Tonga (22-0), which the Socceroos then broke just days later with a 31-0 victory over American Samoa - with Archie Thompson breaking the record for most goals in an international fixture, having found the back of the net 13 times. --- Played on Professional difficulty with 6 minute halves.
