Riley McGree Stars with Goal in Socceroos’ 3-0 Victory Over Qatar
Middlesbrough midfielder Riley McGree celebrated his return to Australia’s starting lineup with a goal in a 3-0 friendly victory against Qatar in Doha on Friday afternoon.
The 28-year-old made an impact early in the match, intercepting a pass from the home goalkeeper, Mahmoud Abunada, to score within the first five minutes. This marked McGree’s second senior international goal. He had been sidelined during the Socceroos’ World Cup campaign this summer due to a hamstring injury sustained in Middlesbrough’s Championship play-off final defeat to Hull City in May.
McGree was substituted after 65 minutes, making way for Eli Adams.
Australia will continue their international break with a friendly match against Jordan on Tuesday, 17 November, scheduled for 16:00 GMT.
