Match petering out with a few chances for both sides.

Bulut has been the shining light for the Young Socceroos – going after each ball and refusing to let his head go down. Still showing plenty of effort in a game that’s run out of gas.

Much better half for the Socceroos who seem more adept at playing this system, but Spain have backed off.

Spain playing at a crawl but controlling possession with ease.

Strike from Petratos forces good save from the Spanish keeper. Best chance of the second half for the Young Socceroos, who are looking more comfortable now.

Spain so comfortable on the ball, currently controlling possession.

A good spell for the Young Socceroos on the ball, but the lack of quality balls and decisive passing and finishing is clear, particularly when compared to what Spain produces.

Spain appear to have taken their foot off the accelerator, as the game settles into a bit of a holding pattern. Young Socceroos will be happy (?) to not concede further.

Second half underway. Subs for the Young Socceroos: McGowan and Petratos on for Sainsbury and Ibini-Isei.

Disastrous for the Young Socceroos and Australian football – totally outclassed.

Young Socceroos pull one back through Bulut.
Better spell for the Young Socceroos but ball movement just no comparable to standard set by Spain, who are looking dangerous on the counter.

Any hopes of progressing surely gone. Huge gulf between two teams. Young Socceroos look out of their depth playing this new system. Real wake-up call for Australian football.

Full-time: Spain 5 – Australia 1.
Scoreless second half provides cold comfort for the Young Socceroos, who were totally outclassed by Spain following a scoring spree in the opening minutes of the game.
Young Socceroos out of the World Cup at the bottom of Group C with only one point in the campaign. Lots of questions around the performance and technical standard put in place for the youth team.
Thanks for joining us this morning and let us know your thoughts on the Young Socceroos’ performance.
