Yaya Dukuly and Matthias Macallister scored in stoppage time as Australia lifted themselves from potential elimination to Group D winners in the space of an exhilarating four minutes.
Head Coach Tony Vidmar made three changes from the side that was narrowly defeated by China. Giuseppe Bovalina, Luka Jovanovic and Jaylan Pearman came into the starting eleven, replacing Aydan Hammond, Mathias Macallister and Nathaniel Blair.
