We were so dominant
After falling goals behind early on to the South Americans,
plenty of Socceroos fans in the Arena Pantanal stands were fearing the worst as
Jorge Sampaoli's side looked dominant. But after those early jitters, the
Australians re-discovered themselves, hitting back before half-time & they
were the better side for long stretches of the second-half only conceding the
third in the dying minutes.
While their 3-1 defeat arrived for Australia on the back of
a rousing revival against Chile, captain Mile Jedinak was frank at the final
whistle, telling FIFA.com: It doesn't make it any simpler.
Those early lapses, where Alexis Sanchez & Jorge
Valdivia struck within minutes of each other, ended up being much to overcome. On reflection Jason Davidson
Australia's hard-working 22-year-old left-back felt perhaps the occasion got to
a number of them in the opening stages.
It's disappointing to be honest. They had a right go &
those first twenty minutes ended up costing us, the towering captain said. We
were on top of them, they were so dominant. They had a couple of nice chances,
& their keeper pulled off some great saves. It wasn't meant to be, that was
the difference.
