The Socceroos earned their 10th consecutive World Cup qualifying win in a scrappy 1-0 victory against Vietnam in Hanoi on Tuesday night.
It wasn't the green and gold's best performance but a vital three points was secured to continue Australia on their path to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Goalscorer Rhyan Grant was the star, while the rest of the team was a bit of a mixed bag.
Sporting News rates how all of the Socceroos performed against Vietnam...
Maty Ryan 6
Had a reasonably quiet night with Vietnam mainly playing on the counter attack. Came for a long ball and missed it in the latter stages but Vietnam failed to punish.
Brad Smith 6
His first Socceroos cap since November 2019. Worked hard down the left flank but lacked quality with his attacking play.
Trent Sainsbury 7
Another assured performance at the back from Sainsbury, who also got on the ball regularly and probed well with his passing.
Harry Souttar 7
Has entrenched himself as a first choice centre-half. Dealt with any aerial threat and also stepped up on the press to snuff out trouble.
Rhyan Grant 8
Scored his first international goal with a great run and finish at the back post. The header was made difficult by the bounce. Tirelessly defended down the right flank also.
A moment @RhyanGrant will never forget 🙌

Jackson Irvine 6
Being used in a holding midfield role that he hasn't played much in at club level. Put in a solid effort but gave them ball away cheaply on a few occasions.
Ajdin Hrustic 7
Only earned a seven because of the magnificent assist he played for Grant's goal. Apart from that, gave the ball away too much and tried to make things happen too often.
Tom Rogic 6
Another one of the Socceroos' playmakers to give the ball away too easily. Got on the ball plenty but needs to improve his final pass.
Riley McGree 5
Didn't get involved enough during his time on the pitch. Only young and will improve but there could have been a better option to start.
Awer Mabil 4
After his magnificent performance against China, Mabil had an absolute stinker. Tried too much trickery with his dribbling and passing when just simple play was required.
Adam Taggart 5
Didn't get the best service but also failed to make the most of his opportunities when they came. Looks like he is lacking confidence.
