The Futsalroos have got off to a fantastic start in the AFC championships coming back from a goal down to defeat Malaysia 2-1 in Tashkent overnight.
Two goals in a blistering five-minute spell in the second half to Aussies Jarrod Basger and Greg Giovenali made the difference as the Futsalroos got off to a perfect start in the tournament.
Earlier, the Malaysians profited from an Aussie turnover just before the break to lead 1-0 at half-time.
Another hero for Australia was Angelo Konstantinou, who made some great saves including a crucial one-on-one save halfway through the second half to deny the Malaysians.
Malaysia utilised their power play and went to fifth man for the last three minutes but Australia defended well and held out for a 2-1 win to start the tournament with a great win.
The Futsalroos' next game is on February 13 against Qatar.
