2010 FIFA World Cup: Aussies edge New Zealand

2010 FIFA World Cup: Substitute Brett Holman struck with the last kick of the game to give Australia an undeserved 2-1 victory in their FIFA World Cup farewell friendly Vs. New Zealand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Brett Holman has been criticized for his lack of goals in national team colours in the past, but did his chances of booking his place on the plane to South Africa no harm when he serenely converted after Carl Valeri's clever lob in the 3rd minute of added time. It was just the 26-year-old AZ Alkmaar forward's 2nd goal in 30 international appearances and capped an otherwise forgettable display from the hosts - albeit in their 1st warm-up ahead of the finals.

New Zealand had gone ahead credit to Chris Killen's close-range strike after 16 minutes. It took a debut goal from young midfielder Dario Vidosic to bring Australia level after 57 minutes before Brett Holman clinched the win late on.
