THE MATCH STARTS!

9th minute - GOAL to Tim Cahill after a quick breakaway. 1-0

19th minute - GOAL to Tim Cahill. Exchange of passes, Cahill takes a shot just outside the box, keeper can get a finger to it but not enough and it goes in. 2-0

23rd min - yellow for C.Moore

27th min - GOAL for Mark Bresciano after a combination of good passing and lacklustre defence allows him to calmly a slot a goal into the bottom left corner. 3-0

35th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Bad marking and defending allows Kennedy to get into some space, shoots pass the keeper into the goal. 4-0

40th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Counterattack catches Scotland off guard, no reply to quick passing and Kennedy scores. 5-0

44th min - Australian defence caught napping with McFadden latching onto a cross from Miller, providing the first real test for Schwarzer. Rebounds off the post and tipped away by the Australian Goal keeper. Corner.

45th min - A red card for Naysmith caps off a horror first half for Scotland. Australia with a chance to score another goal going into halftime.

45th min - GOAL for Mark Bresciano. A free kick for Bresciano pays dividends with the aussie scoring a spectacular goal. 6-0

45th min - Own Goal for Scotland. Can it get any worse? A mix up at the back ends with Caldwell kicking it into his goal. Oh dear..7-0

HALF TIME 7-0 to Australia.

Well the scoreline tells the story. 7-0 to Australia. One side completely dominating while the other side is playing the worst football imaginable. No way back for Scotland from here...

SECOND HALF STARTS

46th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. HAT-TRICK! Again bad defending from Scotland and quick passing from Australia results in yet another goal. 8-0

57th min - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Four!! It's Arshavin all over again. Martin Tyler thinks the game is over after that goal. I thought it was over in the first half. Each to their own I guess. 9-0

68th minute - Rare chance for Scotland as Schwarzer tips away a header from one of the forwards. Corner…

74th minute - GOAL for Fletcher. FINALLY Scotland gets on the board after a mix up between goalie and defender. Thrown straight to one of the forwards, passed to Fletcher and he takes the chance. Any hope of a comeback though? 9-1

75th minute - GOAL for Josh Kennedy. Right from the kick off, Australia catch Scotland napping and a few passes later, Kennedy's in for his fifth. 10-1.

89th minute - GOAL for Tim Cahill. Him and Josh Kennedy will be fighting for the match ball, because they've both got Hat-Tricks. 11-1

FULL TIME AUSTRALIA 11 - 1 SCOTLAND

I don't think anyone expected such a smashing performance from Australia. Dominating a lackluster Scottish side that didn't have any answers.
