Australia stunned the soccer world Wednesday with a deserved 1-0 win over Denmark that’ll move it on to the Round of 16 in the World Cup.

Mathew Leckie slotted a shot into the bottom right corner of the net in the 60th minute and the Socceroos will advance to face the winner of Group C.

In the other match, Tunisia put together a respectable effort against an injury-depleted and already through France team in a 1-0 win. France still tops the group due to goal differential and will face the second-place finisher of Group C.
