The Subway Socceroos have played out an exciting 2-2 draw with Mexico at AT&T Stadium, Dallas last night, as Graham Arnold’s side continue to build towards their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers and the AFC Asian Cup Qatar.
Cameron Burgess became Socceroo #633, named to start in central defence alongside Harry Souttar, who opened the scoring for the Subway Socceroos with a pinpoint header from a set piece in the 16th minute – taking his goal tally to seven in 17 appearances.
Martin Boyle made his long-awaited return from injury in the starting XI, with the Hibernian FC winger getting on the scoresheet – converting clinically from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute.
Sam Silvera secured a Subway Socceroo’s debut from the bench, with the Middlesborough winger replacing Boyle midway through the second half.
Mexico clawed back a goal in the 69th minute with Raul Jimenez taking his opportunity from the penalty spot before Cesar Huerta drew things level in the 83rd minute.
