Joe Gauci kept his second clean sheet in quick succession as Australia wrapped up their second round of World Cup qualifying with a 5-0 victory over Palestine on Tuesday afternoon.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper, who also started last Thursday’s 2-0 triumph over Bangladesh, again completed 90 minutes in Perth.
Gauci and the Socceroos, having already sealed their place in the next stage, finished top of Group I with a 100 per cent record - six wins and six clean sheets.
Australia now progress to the third round of qualification for the 2026 tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
