Late Bos goal helps stodgy Socceroos past Cameroon

Jordy Bos scored the late match-winner as the Socceroos defeated Cameroon 1-0 in Sydney, delighting 23,798 fans at Stadium Australia despite Connor Metcalfe's second-half knee injury.
Debutants Lucas Herrington and Deni Juric featured in the lineup as the Australians struggled through a largely lacklustre first half, setting up the need for second-half adjustments.
Nestory Irankunda and Jacob Italiano sparked the second half, though Ajdin Hrusti's penalty attempt was saved by Cameroon goalkeeper Devis Epassy, keeping the match level.
Following Paul Okon-Engstler's pass, Hrusti drew the defender, and Bos slammed home the decisive goal after making several surging runs throughout the match.
Despite the imperfect collective performance, the match provided valuable insights for the squad, with Herrington remaining ultra composed throughout, handling the defensive traffic capably.
