It was the moment Australian football fans dared to dream.

Five minutes into the second half of their friendly in Kaiserslautern, the Socceroos skipper stepped up to curl a beauty over the wall and past German ‘keeper Ron-Robert Zieler.

It’s worth watching just for the German commentary. If you don’t know the lingo, you can sure get the gist!

Although the goal put Australia 2-1 up, they couldn’t hold on for the win.

German substitute Lukas Podolski scored in the 81st minute so spare Germany’s blushes.
