WITH a bevy of emerging A-League talents playing starring roles, Olyroos head coach Graham Arnold delivered on his pre-tournament promise that Australia would shock the world at Tokyo 2020, beginning with a 2-0 victory over Argentina.
A clash with the gargantuan footballing nation kicked off Australia s Men s Football Tournament at the Olympic Games on Thursday night.
Olyroos head coach Arnold put his faith in six players currently signed to A-League clubs from the start against Argentina, with ten of 15 players used on the night having played in the A-League throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
It was Western United s Lachlan Wales and Melbourne City s Marco Tilio who scored the two goals in Australia s stunning 2-0 triumph. But it was the collective effort of all 15 players used at the Sapporo Dome - who displayed guts, grit, determination and that easily-identifiable Aussie fighting spirit - that got the Olyroos over the line
